Crockpot Salsa Pheasant Tacos are one of the easiest ways to cook upland game there is!

When I was back in college this was a staple meal for me. There was nothing better, after a long day of soccer and classes, then coming home to a meal ready to go! I would throw a couple chicken breasts in the crockpot before morning workouts and it would be shreddable delicious taco meat for dinner.

This is a great recipe for any upland bird. This is also a great recipe for the often hated, very tendony, game bird legs. It cooks for so long, engulfed in salsa-y moisture, that the meat falls off the bone! You just have to pull out the bones and tendons and you’re ready for a delicious dinner.

With fall semester’s getting ready to ramp up again keep this recipe on hand! Also, if you are a poor college kid with no access to wild game, just use any chicken meat and you’ll be golden. Let me know in the comments how it goes and ENJOY!!

This Cheesy Broccoli Rabbit Bake is so easy and delicious! It is perfect for weeknight meals on the go.

Do you have rabbit or any small game sitting in the freezer? Do you not know what to do with it? Or are you busy with soccer practice, extracurricular activities, work…? Besides the addition of a few ingredients after 4 hours, this recipe is leave it and forget it.

The rabbit slow cooks for 4 hours and becomes tender and shreddable. Once the tenderness has been achieved, with a few more ingredients and 4 more hours of cooking, you will have a delicious meal the entire family will love.

This recipe came about by my desire for broccoli and rice. What’s more American than a casserole? I decided the perfect meat to accompany this dish would be my first rabbit I’ve eaten ever. And boy was I right! There is no person that will dislike this meal. It is simple and delicious yet full of flavor. I hope y’all gobble it up like my family did.

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs gator cut into bite size pieces
  • 2.5 C white rice
  • 1 package sausage sliced (I used jalapeño and green onion venison sausage)
  • 1 T vegetable oil or butter to brown sausage
  • 1/2 T Cajun seasoning I used The Cajun Ninja’s
  • 1 onion diced
  • 1 green bell pepper diced
  • 2 stalks of celery diced
  • 3 cloves of garlic minced
  • 3.5 C chicken broth
  • 1 T hot sauce I used Louisiana Hot Sauce*
  • 6 oz tomato paste
  • 1 can rotel 10 oz
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 bunch green onions chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Add vegetable oil (or butter) to a pan. Heat over medium-high heat.
  • Once hot, add sliced sausage and cook until browned and crispy on the edges. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • In your crockpot, add chicken broth, tomato paste and rotel. Stir until combined.
  • Add diced onions, diced bell pepper, diced celery, minced garlic, gator and sausage. Stir to combine.
  • Add Cajun seasoning, hot sauce, and bay leaves. Again, stir to combine.
  • Cook, with lid on, on high for 3 hours. This should make the gator tender and shreddable if you want smaller bits.
  • Keeping meat and all ingredients in the pot, add rice and stir to combine.
  • Cook for an additional hour on high, or until rice is fully cooked. The rice will absorb all excess liquid and create a delicious jambalaya.
  • When finished stir well and remove bay leaves. Garnish with green onions. Enjoy!

Notes

*More can be added for spice. I add mine after because my family doesn’t like it as spicy as me.

What’s better than comfort food? Easy to make comfort food! With this crockpot pheasant and dumplings, throw it in a pot, and in a few hours you have yourself a simple yet delicious meal.

I know pheasant and dumplings is probably a staple in the pheasant community, but I wanted to put my own spin on this tried-and-true recipe! Also, using a prepackaged biscuit dough might seem weird, but trust me it is absolutely delicious. Give it a try and let me know in the comments what you think. Enjoy!

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs pheasant breasts*
  • 1 sweet onion diced
  • 2 fresh cloves of garlic minced
  • 2 10 oz cans of cream of chicken soup
  • 3 C chicken broth
  • 1 tsp poultry seasoning
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp sage
  • 1 package 8 count refrigerated biscuit dough

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients EXCEPT dough and meat to crockpot. Stir to combine.
  • Place meat in the mixture making sure it is all covered with the liquid.
  • Cook on high for 3 hours or low for 6 hours.
  • When the meat is cooked through and tender (~3 hours on low or 6 on high), shred it or remove to a cutting board and cut it into bite size pieces to make it easier. Stir to combine.
  • Open your biscuits.
  • Press individual biscuits flat with the palm of your hand.
  • Cut biscuits into narrow strips (I use a pizza cutter). Add to the slow cooker and stir.
  • Cover and cook on high for 1 hour or until biscuits are cooked (light and fluffy).
  • Enjoy!

Notes

* If you do not have enough breasts, that is perfectly okay. Use the legs and when it says to cut up the meat, debone and remove all tendons.
