Anyone have a good possum casserole recipe?

Question

I want one for Christmas dinner

Answer 1

Well, granny get out your grinder!
Skin the darn thing....make sure it's dead, we don't want to tick off the veg heads around here.
Put the meat into the grinder with some seasoning and grind away ( no pun intended)
Take the ground meat and add some rice and tomato sauce and put it in a casserole dish. Add some breadcrumbs for topping and for decoration put one of the claws in the middle (the kiddies love this)
Bake at 350 for 45 minutes, let rest for 15 and enjoy.
Some nice moonshine and hey, you have the 2 food groups!

P.S. Yer sure is a cute one.

Answer 3

I prefer just making a 'possum pot-pie

1 # boneless, skinnless 'possum meat, cubed
6 carrots, skinned and cut up small
1 small onion, diced
2 celery stalks, cut small
1 cup corn
1 cup peas
1 premade pie crust
water
vegetable oil
flour
salt
pepper
Tabasco

Preheat oven to 325

Heat oil in pan on med-high heat. Coat meat with flour. Cook meat in pan until firm, set aside. In the same pan with the meat drippings, add the carrot, onion and celery. Cook until tender. Add meat back in, and add the corn and peas. Add water, 1/4 cup at a time and heat ingredients to create a gravy, don't add too much water. Add salt, pepper and Tabasco to taste.

Put the mix into a 9" deep dish pie pan, cover with pie crust. Bake until crust is golden brown, 30-45 minutes.
