Brown the venison sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it apart as it cooks. (If you think your premade venison sausage is underseasoned, add in 1-2 teaspoons all purpose seasoning).

Add a spoonful of the sausage mixture to the center of each, fold, and pinch the edges to seal into a ball. 3. Bring water and baking soda to a boil. Once boiling, drop the pretzel bites in for 30 seconds, then remove with a slotted spoon and place on parchment paper or a grill pan. 4. Preheat your pellet grill to 400°F . 5. Brush each bite with melted butter, and place into your grill for and cook for 20–25 minutes until golden brown. 6. While they cook, either on the stove top or on your grill, melt butter in a saucepan and whisk in flour for 1 minute. Slowly add beer, then milk, whisking until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in cheddar, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth. 7. Brush the pretzel bites with more melted butter and sprinkle with flaky salt when they come off the grill.
