What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!

Pheasant is sometimes described as a tasting like a slightly gamey chicken. If you are using wild pheasant you can reduce the gaminess by soaking it in buttermilk overnight. Bonus is that the buttermilk will also help make the pheasant more moist.

2 pheasant breasts
3/4 cup uncooked rice
1 tablespoon grated onion
2 teaspoons chicken stock base
4 tablespoons butter
salt and pepper, to taste
3 ounces mushrooms, canned
2 cups water
Roll pheasant in flour and brown in skillet. Cut breasts in half.
Place rice, salt and pepper into large greased casserole and add onion. Add mushrooms and juice. Place pheasant on rice mixture.
Add chicken stock, dissolved in water. Dot with butter. Bake at 300 degrees F for 1 1/2 hours.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

I was looking for something easy to cook and this recipe is definitely it. I followed the recipe 100% except that I browned the pheasant in a cast iron pot and then put the cast iron pot in the oven instead of changing out dishes. I think all the "browning particles" added to the flavor. I also used a touch of cajun seasoning to add "pizazz". The baking time was pretty accurate also.
