Here's a recipe for baked raccoon (we didn't actually make this, although did use some similar flavorings in other recipes):
Take a 5 pound coon and put it into a 1 gallon ziplock bag.
Add meat tenderizer
Barbecue Sauce
2 cups diet coke
Let it stay in the bag for 8 hours at least and then transfer the carcass to the stock pot.
Add one gallon of water
1 stick of butter
1 tsp. garlic
and salt to taste
After cooking one to one-and-a-half hours remove and let cool and remove bones.
Chop up 10 pieces of bacon
one small onion
and salt to taste
Let bacon pieces fry until almost done and then add the coon meat.
After cooking for 15 minutes serve with mashed potatoes and gravy.
Rock & Roll!!! :)
