Slow Cooked Squirrel

  4.3 – 17 reviews  

For those of us who enjoy hunting and are more country-minded, I recommend this stew dish. It is convenient that dinner will be ready when you get home from work as it simmers in your pot.

I just made this recipe, with a few additions. First, I didn’t have squirrel on hand, but I did have a cottontail rabbit another hunter friend of mine gave me, so that’s what I used. A rabbit has more meat on it than a squirrel, so it should be about the same amount of meat (1 rabbit = 2 squirrels). Next, I followed the advice of one of the other comments and added 32 oz of diced tomatoes (but kept the 2 cups of water also). I then added 15 oz of tomato paste. I also added 1/2 tsp of rosemary. The result was really, really good!

I found this just ok. Maybe needed some spicing up. Next time I may add a little nutmeg to the pot. Husband and kids loved it so it probably will be going into my regular rotation.

I changed it up a little and it was fantastic. I used 3 squirrels no cabbage or bell pepper, substituted pearls onions, added 2 cups of sliced white mushrooms, 2 cups chopped celery used 1 cup of water and 1 cup of red wine. Very Very Tasty!!! I also flash fried the squirrel in a pan with butter and garlic prior to putting in slow cooker

I used this recipe for some deer I had and it turned out perfectly. I just wish I had more deer so that I could make more. Hearty and filling, we managed to make the stew last almost a month. Discarded the bell pepper in favor of mushrooms.

My dogs spend a lot of time trying to catch the squirrels in our backyard, but so far—no luck. I guess I’ll have to hang on to this recipe just in case……sounds mighty good!

We just love squirrle in our family! It has become a Thanksgiving tradition. My husband usually catches them fresh out of the yard. Great way to save money . Slow cooking in the crock pot over the fire works well for us! Definitely cook the pototes until tender.

I did not care for this.

My friend Barb made this for our hunting pot-luck, we all had to have it. Wonderful!

This has potential, but I felt it was a little bland. It needed more seasoning, possibly some fresh garlic and more salt and pepper.
