Most of you have probably seen the recipes for party sliders floating around the internet and print locations for a while now. This version pays homage to the famous loose meat sandwiches so popular in the upper Midwest and uses venison ground with bacon and smoked provolone cheese to make an easy barbecue-style dish.

While they aren't the least messy of party snacks, loose meat sliders are always a hit.While they aren’t the least messy of party snacks, loose meat sliders are always a hit.

We grind quite bit of our venison each season with bacon ends and pieces procured from a local butcher shop. The bacon adds needed fat and the smoky flavor it adds really compliments the venison, be it in a burger or as an ingredient in a recipe.

Brown the ground venison with a diced onion and season with your favorite rub. For this dish, I used McCormick Grill Mates Mesquite seasoning to add to the smokiness of the bacon. Add a half cup of your favorite barbecue sauce for additional flavor and allow it to simmer for a bit.
