Original Recipe Yield 4 pheasants
 

Ingredients

  • 4 small pheasants, cleaned and rinsed
  • 1/2 pound sliced bacon
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix
  • 1 (4.5 ounce) can sliced mushrooms
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Place the pheasants into a large slow cooker. Wrap and drape the bacon over the birds, covering the pheasants as much as you can.

  2. Cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours, or on High for 5 to 7 hours.
