Jeremiah Doughty | From Field to Plate

These aren't just wild game meatballs, these are wild game BACON BOMBS. If you need an appetizer to take to a party or a protein for your meal that anybody will eat, these are easy and delicious. You can make these with any ground meat, but if you need to make room for more venison in the deep freeze, this is a great way to use it.
