The Best Venison Bacon Savory Muffins
I like to make these Venison Bacon Savory Muffins for the mornings when I need to eat on the go. But they're also perfect when you have house guests for the holidays. These savory muffins take just a few minutes to stir together and are baked in less than 30 minutes. VENISON BACONI love using the venison bacon I make every year in lots of different recipes, but this is one of my favorites. I also prefer a nice amount of chive flavor in these savory muffins, but if you're not a big fan, feel free to use just 1 or 2 tablespoons or omit it all together.These savory muffins are very addictive and great for leftovers. Served warm and slathered with butter they are amazing! To heat them just pop in the microwave for a few seconds. They warm up so well and the melted butter with the venison bacon is so worth it.
