I see your household is also a fan of what ours calls, "a fine white sauce"...ie cream of mushroom soup.
Yummy!

Here is a recipe I will post on another forum tomorrow. Enjoy

Grouse Wild Rice Casserole


1 Grouse, cut into serving pieces
½ lb. pork sausage
½ lb. Mushrooms, sliced
3 stalks celery
1 onion, chopped
½ cup flour
½ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. pepper
1 cup wild rice, soaked over night then drained
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can 15-oz. Chinese vegetables
1 cup water
½ cup soy sauce
In a large skillet cook sausage, mushrooms, celery and onions, stirring to break up sausage, until sausage is cooked through and veggies are tender. Remove with a slotted spoon and put in a slow cooker. Combine flour, salt and pepper then dredge grouse pieces. In the same pan brown the grouse in the sausage drippings. Add birds and remaining ingredients to slow cooker. Cover and cook for 3-4 hrs. Or until rice is done and meat is tender.
