grouse recipe

[night bite]

I would like to make grouse with cream of mushroom and some wild rice. im thinking of putting the grouse in the crock pot for 4-5 hours and putting the soup in with it. then make the rice late and put the grouse on top of it. has any one done it in the crock pot. i have had it in the over but thought it might be a little more tender in the crock pot

I had a grouse dinner last night. I first diped the breast in flour with some salt and peper. Then I pan fried the grouse untill the out sides started to turn brown. Then in a big kettle pot I took about three cans of cream of mushroom soup and pourd it on top of the grouse. I let it bake in a 350 degree oven for about one hour and thirdy minn. Boy that was a good dinner. This recipe works great for pheasant too.

One thing to think about, is that the wild rice takes longer than the birds to cook and really sucks up alot of the moisture. One option is to pre cook the wild rice for a couple of hours then add it in. Or just add much more liquid and put the rice in at the start, uncooked. You want the rice to pop open and be fully cooked or it will kind of ruin the full meal affect.

I make my grouse in the crockpot...... I start out by browning the meat in a pan then adding a can or 2 of cream of mushroom soup and same amount of water as cans of soup in to the crock pot and let cook for desired time. I usually put them on for 2 hours (or however long ya like) at high (unless cooking longer than say 3 hours then I suggest low to keep the meat from getting dry) and they are perfect. the rice part I can't help ya.. I like to put this over or with mashed potatoes

Take a look at the "Simple Pheasant" Thread....this works great for grouse too! Good luck

Joel- I have not started with the meat being frozen but I would guess that if you throw the meat in with the cream of mushroom soup and one can of water and let it cook on low for a few hours (at least 3 but probably 5) you should have a great meal!!!!!

My favorite way to cook grouse is very basic. I would suggest a person trying it sometime as it is very good. Just take a grouse breast (on the bone)and season. Next pin a lemon wedge behind the ribs with a tooth pick. Then wrap the breast with two pieces of bacon and grill very slowly (i've found gas grill is the easiest). Once the bacon is crispy you should be cooked through. Absolutely wonderful. Moist and tasty. You really get to taste the grouse this way and not the cream soup.
