    • 2-3 tablespoons butter
    • 1 cup carrots (thinly sliced)
    • 1 medium potato (peeled and cut into ¼-inch cubes)

    1. Cook quartered rabbit in a slow-cooker for 7 hours on low with just enough water to almost cover meat or in a pressure cooker for about 20 minutes. Remove and allow to cool before deboning. The broth can be saved and frozen for later recipes, if desired.

    3. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat and add carrots. Cover and cook for 5-10 minutes.

    5. Stir in celery, onion, and peas. Cover and cook for another 5 minutes or until all vegetables are fork-tender.
    6. Remove vegetable mixture from heat and mix in the cooked rabbit, cream of mushroom soup, and water. Stir well to mix.
    7. Spoon mixture into a 2 quart casserole dish and top with thawed pie crust, gently remolding and tucking edges under to fit dish.
