I'll add that I find the oven best for pre-cooking the bacon vs in a pan, tends to lay straight better.

I can't remember the last time I fried bacon in a pan at home. We just throw it on a cookie sheet and roast it at 425 for about 25-30 minutes.

What’s your method? Is there any way to get crispier bacon without overcooking the elk?

Flame weeder

Berzomatic torch is okay if you don’t have a flame weeder around.

Just get it all cooked till the elk is almost to the desired doneness, and use the weeder/torch for a few seconds.

Partial cook or blanch the bacon first-works

I pulled an antelope roast out of the freezer yesterday and now I know what I'm going to do with it

I have a garden full of jalapeños ready to be picked.

Maybe I’ll be able to bacon wrap one of these guys after the fall

Odd aren’t very good. Everyone and their dogs knows about this group and they don’t spend a lot of time on public

There are mule deer in my neck of the woods like that. But, the inches guys are after them wherever they go. mtmuley

I can’t believe I’ve never tried making jalapeño elk poppers until tonight. They are definitely in the top five elk steak recipe for me

Looks amazing! Going to make some on my Traeger. I’ve smoked poppers before and then seared them epically. Now it’s time for some of this!

 

[Addicting]

Hot off the Treager! The filling color came from some smoked paprika and hidden valley ranch seasoning. After eating them I will give it a 5 star review. If your going to make them throw the filled jalapeños in the freezer for a few hours before wrapping them and placing on the grill. It will help keep your filling in as the bacon and elk gets done. Also this becomes more of a meal than a appetizer.

I made these by marinating beef steak in Allegro and then cooking them on a Traeger. Can’t wait to try the same recipe on elk this fall.

 

[geetar]

Use thin cut bacon.

I cut the bacon strips in half so it isn’t as thick then wrap it tight.

Man that looks good, especially with a bag of jalapenos sitting on my counter left over from salsa making. I think this will happen.

 

[Addicting]

Almost done. Mmmmm

This is one of my favorite ways to use dove as well. When I get too many Eurasian doves around the house I thin them out with the pellet gun and make poppers

 

[longbow51]

Best way to cook doves other than a Hank Shaw recipe where you roast them whole and stuffed with herbs but requires plucking which is painfully slow.

Pluck a Canada or two, and you'll be amazed at how quickly the doves go

Not to go too far off topic, but has anyone tried those plucking machines that have been around for years with the rubber nodules? Always wondered if they worked worth a darn.

They do work, although you have to remove the primaries first. The problem is they create a gigantic mess; feathers everywhere unless you have a shroud and attach it to a shop vac. Probably someone better at it than we were.
