Wife and both got bears last week in New Brunswick. I have eaten bear before but I am looking for new ways to use the meat to make different things.

Anybody have any recipes they would like to share? Opinions? Statements?

I was thinking Chili and Meatballs with the burger.......

We use to get the hind ends smoked and made into hams......

Crock pot or slow cooker, bear roast, 1 cup red wine, 1cup beef broth, 2 bay leaves, salt and pepper to taste, 1 or 2 onions, 1lb mushrooms sliced on top. Cook on low 8 hrs (or high 3 or 4 hrs) remove bear and keep warm in oven and remove bay leaves, turn up to high and thicken broth for gravy with cornsarch or flour. Serve with cooked noodles or mashed potatoes.

I have never given this to anyone that didn't like it and all were surprised when I said it was bear.

Never met a bear that should not have been given away

My cousin shot a bear and gave me some bear steak. I grilled it - big mistake. I chewed and chewed and chewed - spit it out and it looked like when it went in. Swore I would never eat bear again.

So when he shot a second one I tried that recipe above. As a result - send me all the bear you want. Was excellent.
