Been watching your vids for a year or so. Love the cooking because that is the food I was raised on. Keep it up. I am 60 this year and know from my grandparents that this world is gonna get worse before it ever gets better. You have a friend in south Alabama.

While I have no way of knowing how much effort is truly expended behind the scenes prior to filming these segments, the end result is both extremely informative and entertaining. There appears to be so much more happening beyond the lens of your camera that’s equally vital to the success of your chosen life-style. But to date they remain a mystery to all but the local inhabitants from that most beautiful part of this country.

You are the best! Love your attitude and your wild life survival skills. Wish there are more ladies like you in this world. Love your show and subscribed to your channel. Keep up the great work!

Got a couple of squirrels on the last day of the season and decided to try out your recipe. Could give you a Big Bear Hug for showing that video. It came out great and plan on making it that way come next season. Great job and keep up with those great videos. Craig

looks delicious.. great vid! i too am a big fan of squirrel. as you said, their very abundant. up here in the north as well. i eat them very often, but havent tried them that way. will def try that recipe

Mmmmm. I remember we used to take a couple of squirrels to my Grandmother and she would fry them and make gravy and cook them in it and hand-make some big biscuits. Fond memories. I'm glad to see some people in this current generation know how to not only enjoy stuff like this, but actually make it. Great vid. You keep doing what you're doing.

I grew up on fried squirrel and squirrel gravy was a must in my house growing up, but I am 42 now and its probably been 25 years since I had some. So I decided that maybe I should go out and shoot a few to fry up after watching your video. Your way of cooking it up looked great. I also have some okra frozen that came out of the garden this year and that looked like a perfect side. Your video really got me to thinking about how long it has been since I enjoyed a meal like that. Nicely done.

Wow, brought a tear my eye from where and when the squirrel were plentiful. Great job preparing; I'm sure your is delicious. When I used to fly all over SE Asia, I learned to marinate in a combination of soy sauce, corn starch, and wine (sherry mostly) for a few hours and then fry hot and continue like you do. The corn starch gives a rich silly finish and the sweetness of the squirrel really comes out. Thanks for the treat. I'm looking forward to more of your kitchen craft.

At the end, I pulled everything out, and I thickened the gravy with a roux. Then I threw everything back in the gravy, and served it over egg noodles. It was freakin' amazing! I can't wait to go hunting again! I will also try this with cottontails! My son loves noodles, but next time it will go over wild rice for me!

it will thicken some on its own but you can add a thickener like flour while frying the meat or brown gravy mix

Wilted onions? Honey, I don't know how anything could "wilt" with you in the room!! Good looks and cooks squirrel! Damn that is one helluva combination!!!

I used to cook my squirrels in a crockpot/slow cooker after the typical browning as you've done here. However, ever since I got my pressure cooker several years ago that's how I cook them now. Hours of cooking, either stovetop or in a crockpot/slow cooker is reduced to about 30 minutes. And I ALWAYS add a ton of mushrooms, usually whatever wild mushrooms I have on hand. Typically Chicken of the Woods, Hen of the Woods and Oyster. And I use stock or broth instead of water.

sure thing. I'll make a video on sausage making asap. Thanks

The sguirrel really looks good I have to try your way,I dredge the squirrel in flour and brown it then make gravy your way looking good thanks for the new idea.

Great vid and thanks for again for all your hard work with all these videos. Keep em coming :)

Love your videos!! After you add the water do you simmer it with the pot lid on, or off? Thank you! Happy that I subscribed to your videos, you have taught me much!

I've heard of it but have never maid it. I'm not a big fan of dumplings but you could make it the same way. Just make the gravy as I did and instead of rice just make bread dough and throw it in the gray pot on boil until the dough cooks. To make it even simpler just get a few cans of pilsbury biscuits, cut each raw biscuit into 4 pieces and throw those in the pot to cook.

Love your videos, they're great teaching tools, thank you for sharing your knowledge. Have you done any videos on making jerky? I love jerky, but hate store prices and having to depend on the game processing shops around here that have been known to make people sick.

i do use olive oil simply because it's healthier but you can use regular cooking oil and i just put enough to coat the bottom of the pot so the meat doesn't stick and burn but not enough for the meat to me sitting in oil.

Great video and recipe. I enjoyed it.A new twist for us southern boys recipes.

lol thank you and I'd love to know the answer to that myself... as for the river statement. What animals are eating and drinking effects the taste of the meat. Animals living near a very large river or swamp tend to have a slightly muskier taste.

Thanks you for your response Ms, . The Shrimp sounds Good.. God Bless have a nice day, I do enjoy the work of Your husbands & your Clips

That looks absolutely delicious!

i don't know what it is but most game near a large river has a slightly stronger taste. Squirrels not as much as other animals though. But if you clean them under running warm water like we showed you it won't matter either way. These were killed near the river and were not marinated or anything and they were mild and tender.

ahh i grilled squirrel last night and that sucker was tough!! I wondered if I needed to pressure cook, but this way... sounds a lot more delicious lol thanks for the great video!!

Good stuff Miss.Its cool to see a young woman such as yourself that has taken the time to learn a variety of skills and techniques. Is that an Iron Kettle or a Dutch Oven? Thanks for the vid!

there we go ... love it and looks very good does it thicken on its own or can you add a thickener I like gravy that sticks to rice or noodles?

I have a seasoning that actually doubles as a chicken coating. Brown the squirrel in an iron skillet, then finish it off in the oven. If the squirrel is tougher than a two dollar steak, this often helps it a bit. In the field, I roast over fire, which is good as well. I can't think of any gravy better than squirrel gravy. Had it all my life, and it's the best. You do a good job, keep up the good work! - C.J.

Yum. Just like my granny used to make rice n gravy. Good girl!

yea. Cook it until it starts to fall off the bone so you know it's tender. And yes it was over rice.

yea wild game is more nutritious and fills you up faster. We fried up some yellow catfish and shrimp last night and were talking about how little it takes with wild game to fill up cause you're body gets what it needs with less consumption.

no but I will. I make lots of jerky. Will probably make a video on it after the holidays

How did I miss this masterpiece? That looked really good...…..

love squirrel, this was my first hunt as a kid, in KS.

Great video on squirrel gravy. Enjoyed it very much. Do you have any vids on frying rabbit? Thanks...!

Now that looks really good!

that look so good i got to try that one day. Do you just use the back legs ony

it verys but roughly about 15 minutes frying and about 30-45 minutes with the water

Excellent vid!! Thanks!!

That squirrel cooks up nice in a can of mushroom soup mix, onions, and garlic. Gotta love a woman that likes cooking wild game!

Squirrels are delicious You are adorable Thanks for another video ;)

Thank you! I have a couple squirrels in the frig that I killed yesterday. I'm going to the grocery store for the rest of the ingredients. This is what is for dinner tonight!

it turns out tender the way i cook it. You can do it in a pressure cooker but the taste is much better this way

Does it taste gamey? I am in culinary school and would like to try preparing squirrel however it's not readily available in Miami. Are you able to pack in dry ice and ship? I hope that's not a silly question.

She's a keeper!!!!

how is squirrel unclean? They eat nuts. It's one of the cleanest and safest meats there is.

I grew up eating squirrel, rabbit, pheasant, quail, and venison of course, Me and my dad always kept our freezer full of wild game. I hated duck hunting though. I was always wet and cold. Good video!

YuM yUm. almost can't wait for fall squirrel season now :)

most times it won't matter unless it's a big river or swampy area in which case the things they are eating and drinking will alter the taste of the meat.

What is it near rivers that the squirrels are feeding on that would cause them to have a more gamy flavor?

I will be trying this receipt out tonight, have been looking forward to it. I will keep you posted how it turns out.

It was very good. I think it needed to cook longer though. Squirrel was still a little tough but taste was great. Next time I do it I will add some thickening agent so it's not quite so runny.

Looks good. I do find it interesting how you, your brother and I'm thinking your dad? Guy with the mustache whom I'm sure I've seen in other videos have different accents or dialects

how much oil do you use to brown them? Do you use olive oil?

wow she is a great chef

Do you make your own sasuage? if so would you make a video on how to make it. :D and i also wanted to say that i love your videos. God Bless yall.

ever make squirrel and dumplings? i never had it, but my grandma talks about her mama making it.

You can BBQ a young squirrel. But this recipe is way better for old squirrels. I've used this recipe before and am doing it again tonight with rabbit and squirrel combined because I love it so much! My squirrel tonight is very old. I know because it was a male and his balls were black and hairless. A young squirrel will have buff hair and small balls, or no balls at all. I don't know about female squirrels. Hope that helps! Happy hunting!

I was born in the country but i was raised in the city so this is kind of taboo to me im trying to get back to my county roots so thanks for making the cooking videos :) my grandparents love this type of food and im starting to like to

I never bake or fry meat anymore. I just put it in a crock pot or pan with a lid and set the stove on lowest possible heat with whole carrots (much better than chopped carrots. I learned that in Maine). I use zero oil, but do start out with a cup of water. At lowest heat, I can go to work in the morning, come home at 5 or 6 pm, and mmm mmm. The meat will be tender, and the flavor of everything is preserved. I use one or two whole onions that I do not cut up until everything is done. Big tip: If you're going to make potatoes at all, do not, I say do not cook them with the other meat and vegetables. A potato will suck all of the flavor out of the meat and neutralize the flavor.

So do you just serve the squirrel and water? Or do you actually use the water to make gravy?

the simmering technique for wild game is to make it tender

I didn't read all the comments so I'm hoping I'm not asking a redundant question. Because squirrel meat is not tender, have you considered starting the cooking process using a pressure cooker and finishing off the gravy or stew in the same pot?

i don't know why youtube did that. They've never age restricted the other animal cleaning vids. But they put a restriction on it for graphic content. I guess because of the blood and guts. You may need to check the age on your account and make sure it's set correctly.

Lady. There should be more women like you in the world Great recipe.

Looks really good. Gotta get some squirrel. Thks for vid.

Great video, I haven't had squirrel in years. My only recommendation is some additional lighting, the kitchen seemed a little dim.

i did the first one to answer a question on a forum I was running. Thought it would be easier to show then explain in text. People liked the video and kept asking for more and it just went from there

Great vid!! Thanks

no. Most squirrel traps are cage traps so it would be alive and unharmed in the trap

How long did u fry the squirrel before u put in the sausage??? And in the end how long did it cook with the water in it??

mouth watering stuff ,Atb.

thank you

yep

no you use the whole squirrel. Watch our video on how to clean the squirrel, it shows how to cut it up at the end

Also, a word of advice: add a little bit of flour and brown it a bit before you add that water. Just makes for a bit better texture.

awesome video thanks

A intelligent beautiful lady that can hunt, fish and cook. Any man who breaks your heart deserves a slap in the back of the head.

i always boil my squirrel first them prepare it, it makes it tender. great video thanks.

YOU ARE PURE HEAVEN GIRL!

roughly translates to "it's very good"

Do you guys have woodchucks down south?

THE SLAP COP!!! LOL

Looks good nice job darling!

Pheeeeeewwww !!! this is serious little Miss ;)

do you ever make venison jerky? my daddy makes that every year and sends it out as xmas presents.

what did they say there at the end i am curious

i plan to

Well if someone doesn't scoop you up soon and make an attempt at tying the knot I might just have to move to Louisiana....I think your a catch ; ) Ps. Thx for the info about the different tastes

C'est Tres Bien..C'est Bon ! Well done. TY for the recipe. Cheers ;-))

it would probably be good that way but might be a bit tough

4.49 OMG, looks VERY nice. THE SQUIRREL, the squirrel looks nice ; P

that looked so good i could smell it through the computer. i was thinkin it would be a flour type gravy, still looked good though. and i am fat enough to know too! lol.

Girl if I lived with you I'd weigh 500 pounds. That looks delicious. Nicely done!

Please forgive these multiple posts, but I’ve got to get some of these thoughts off my chest before I explode…uh, sort of, anyway. First and foremost, I’d like to sincerely thank everyone involved with this under-taking at “MayeuxMinistries” for all the time, effort and expense your ministry has invested in bringing this slice of Americana to the rest of the country and by extension, the world.

awe thanks. We will

my mouth was watering during the whole video.

I like squirrel and dumplings too...lol

looks good! This is my first year that I did the squirrel hunting and I have 8 in the freezer so far. I think I will try this but brown my meat in a separate pot and make a roux then add onions and bell pepper. add the meat in with the water after the onions are cooked. (btw I have that same chopper and cutting board! cutting board was bought at the Angola prison rodeo)
