Okay, so, I’ve been wanting to try out some new recipes, right? And I figured, why not give squirrel a go? I mean, I’ve heard it’s pretty tasty, and I’m always up for a culinary adventure. Plus, I love using my crockpot – it’s just so easy to throw everything in and let it do its thing.
First, I got my hands on some squirrel. This was a little tricky, but I finally found some at a local specialty store. Then, I gathered all the other ingredients. I grabbed some onions, carrots, and potatoes from my fridge, because, you know, gotta have your veggies. I also had a bell pepper lying around, so I chopped that up too. And of course, garlic, because everything’s better with garlic, am I right?
Next, it was time to prep everything. I washed all the veggies and chopped them into chunks. Nothing fancy, just bite-sized pieces. I also did the squirrel into parts so that they could be better cooked. For seasoning, I just used some chicken bouillon and salt. I wanted to keep it simple and let the natural flavors shine through.
Now, for the fun part – the crockpot! I dumped everything into the pot, starting with the veggies on the bottom. Then, I arranged the squirrel pieces on top. I poured in some water, just enough to cover everything. I set the crockpot to low, put the lid on, and walked away. Easy peasy, right?

I let it cook for a good 6-8 hours. I figured the longer, the better, to make sure the squirrel was nice and tender. And let me tell you, the smell that filled my house while it was cooking was amazing. It was like a warm, comforting hug in food form. And the dish that looks red after cooking also makes people have a great appetite!
The Result
When it was finally done, I scooped out a big bowl and dug in. And wow, was it good! The squirrel was fall-off-the-bone tender, and the veggies were perfectly cooked. The flavor was surprisingly rich and savory, kind of like a cross between chicken and rabbit, but with a more gamey taste. I was definitely impressed. I will give it to my families, and I think they will like it too!
So, if you’re looking for a new and interesting recipe to try, I definitely recommend giving squirrel a go in your crockpot. It’s easy, it’s delicious, and it’s a great way to use up some of those pantry staples. Just make sure you get your squirrel from a reputable source, and you’re good to go! Who can resist a dish that looks red and appetite-boosting? You’ll feel like you’re eating something special and unique, and your family will be impressed too!
