Wild Game Recipe of a Lifetime

[Wildabeest]

Squirrel Shepherds Pie

(3) squirrels boned out, meat cut into little pieces.
10-12" Iron skillet
Brown some bacon & onion in skillet, leave the grease
Put the squirrel meat in and brown it
Add vegetables; carrots, peas, sweet corn, celery & mushrooms
Add a can of celery or mushroom soup
Stir all of this stuff up, let it bubble and simmer for a while

In another pot make some runny mashed potatoes.
Take squirrel fixins off the heat
Spread a nice thick layer of mashed taters over top of the mix
Put the iron skillet w/ works under the broiler to get a nice light brown on top of the taters.
You can dust the top with a little shredded cheese if you like
Serve w/ a spatula and eat

Works great with rabbit or diced venison too.
My grandkids even love it.

We call it “Hunters pie”. I always make it on pi day (3/14).

I’m honored you pay attention and have an opinion, albeit wrong.

Now I feel like I need to wander around the bitterroot with a case of highlife and some meat and set the record straight.

Sous vide backstrap. Add butter and Montreal seasoning to the bag. 90 minutes at 135 then finish with a propane torch. My name for this one is “meat candy”.

 

[R.K.]

Backstrap roast.
Marinated in Andria’s steak marinade.
Wrapped in bacon.
Grilled over charcoal.
Bacon gets crispy and protects the venison. Venison is consistent throughout at rare or medium rare. Not even past medium on the outside. Similar result to sous vide.

Friends didn’t like venison. They licked the plates clean and bought my beer for a week. Still ask for it every Christmas.
