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!!

Pheasant Noodle Soup is the best and easiest way to warm up this winter season.

This is a recipe I created using chicken in college. I have added more and more flavor to it over time and finally perfected it. It is delicious. My husband has been my tester for years on this recipe and he can confirm that this recipe has really grown for the better.

By cooking the meat in the crockpot, the pheasant is super tender. It also absorbs a ton of flavor. I have added jalapeños and hot sauce to give the soup a little kick. It isn’t too overwhelming. My mom hates spice, but absolutely loved this recipe. If you like spicy, don’t be afraid to add more. If you hate spice, I highly suggest leaving it, but you can omit it.

This recipe is SO easy and will be a hit for the whole family. If your kids don’t like vegetables, I suggest processing them into smaller pieces like I did in the photo. However, if you don’t care, chopping or dicing the vegetables will be best. This is perfect for the cold weather. I hope y’all enjoy it!

You will live and breathe for this Philly Cheese Dove Sandwich (Sammich).

As Jase Robertson said on Duck Dynasty…dove really is the filet mignon of the sky. Knowing this and with steak on my mind, the first thing that popped into my head was, of course, Philly cheesesteaks. This is a recipe I had been kicking around for a while, but hadn’t landed on the meat I wanted to try with it. Having been given the opportunity to go hunt some land here in San Antonio for doves, the recipe seemed to slide into place. Dove was the perfect meat.

BOY WAS IT. This recipe is darn tootin’ good. It is straightforward and requires little preparation. Who doesn’t love an easy and quick recipe? Plus, if you didn’t have a great day in the field, this recipe requires less than your 15 dove limit. It also doubles as a great appetizer if you don’t want to use the same old dove popper recipe you have been using for years… just cut the bread into slices and serve them up!

I hope y’all love this recipe as much as we did! Enjoy!

Course Main Course

Keyword American, Cheesesteak, Dove, Philly
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes
Servings 3 sandwiches
Author Sophie May

Ingredients

  • 10 dove breasts slightly frozen
  • 1-1.5 T garlic pepper depending on how strong of a flavor you want
  • 3 T Worcestershire sauce
  • 10 slices white American cheese
  • 5 T salted butter
  • 2 green bell peppers thinly sliced
  • 1/2 yellow onion thinly sliced
  • sub bread I used white bolillos from HEB

Instructions

  • Preheat your grill and a cast iron skillet to medium heat.
  • Slice your dove breasts thinly. I used a mandolin to get 1/8 to 1/4 inch slices, but you can use a knife. If you use a mandolin, I find it best to leave the dove slightly frozen.
  • Thinly slice your green bell peppers and onions.
  • Melt 2T of butter on your skillet and pour your vegetables in. Cook for 20 minutes stirring occasionally.
  • Add your Worcestershire sauce and stir.
  • Add your sliced dove breasts to the skillet and stir.
  • Add garlic pepper and stir well.
  • Cook dove and veggies for an additional ~7 minutes stirring occasionally. The breasts should still be slightly pink on the inside.
  • Cover the meat and veggies with slices of white American cheese.
  • Close your grill for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese becomes melty.
  • Using ~3T of butter, butter your bread and toast them for around a minute or until desired crispiness.
  • Place meat mixture on bread. Enjoy!
