RE: Squirrel
I usually quarter mine up, brown on the skillet, place in crockpot with cream of parsley or cream of potato soup on high for few hours. Also like to dab oil on meat, roll in ranch dip mix(dry mix) and fry in oil.

RE: Squirrel
I pressure cook the pieces until falling off the bone. Then I pick the meat from the bones.
Then I put a little oil ina skillet and add the meat. Brown a little and then add a mixture of flour and milk. Keep adjusting until the gravy has the right consistency. Cook until flour taste is gone. Add salt/pepper to taste. Serve over toast or biscuits.
You can also add veggies to the gravy and make a delicious pot-pie.
