Brown the meat in a seasoned cast-iron skillet. Scrape the entire contents into a 3-quart saucepan. Add the remaining ingredients and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for about 45 minutes.

Serve with bread and water, by candlelight, for a taste of camping indoors.

I added chopped garlic, ginger, green chilies & onions adding some mint leaves at the end. Great way to cook without oil or water. - 1/29/20

I loved this! It saved me from a fast food dinner disaster. Plus, I had to try something that said it could be made with squirrel meat. I laughed out loud while cooking it. Thanks! - 7/27/12

I live in East Texas and know a guy named Shawn that eats possum, gator, squirrel, armadillo, etc. When I read your lead about this stew, I was laughing so much. Thanks for the great humor you shared! - 4/16/10

I live in MI & have an abundance of cattails. What part do you eat, when do you pick them & what do you use them for? Do you use them like an onion or potato or what? - 2/1/10

The roots are starchy, just like potatoes.
