Squirrel Bake
3 cups cooked squirrel, diced
1 8oz. Pkg. egg noodles
2 3oz. Pkgs. cream cheese
1 cup creamy cottage cheese
½ tsp. onion powder
¼ cup minced parsley
1 can cream of mushroom soup
2/3 cup milk
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. poultry seasoning
1 ½ cups soft breadcrumbs
3 Tbs. melted butter
Preheat oven to 375. Cook squirrel in a pressure cooker with 1-cup water at 15 pounds pressure for 20 minutes. Cook noodles per package directions; drain and place in a greased 9x13 baking dish. Combine cream cheese and cottage cheese and beat for 2 minutes with an electric mixer. Stir in the onion powder and parsley. Spread half of cheese mixture on noodles, place ½ of the squirrel meat over the cheese. Combine the soup, milk, and poultry seasoning mix well and pour over the squirrel. Repeat layers. Combine breadcrumbs and butter and spread over the casserole. Bake for 30 minutes, or until heated through.

Squirrel gumbo or squirrel sauce piquante. Or, just coat them in flower, partially fry them, then bake 'em in the oven or a crock pout with a little water'til the meat is almost falling off the bones

I'm a mostly a "make it up as you go" type so recipies are a bit vague.

A few squirrels, cleaned and parted
roll in flour,
dip in egg wash,
coat with batter mix,
Drop in deep fryer until done,
toss them in hot wing sauce.
Serve with celery and blue cheese dressing.

Buffalo Style Squirrel Bits!

Tricked more than a few friends with that one. They though I fried up some "funny looking" wings and such.

Boil the meat until browned, chop up a bit, then toss into pie shell with gravy, potatoes, onions, celery, etc. Cover with pie top and bake at 350 for around an hour. Works great with rabbit also.

id eat it, if its made of edible ingredients of course it will work!! might not be the best tasting way to eat a squirrel, but it will get the job done
