Montana Recipes

Oven baked potatoes with seasoned bread crumbs!

I don't have a clue where my Dad got this particular recipe, but he used to build it during hunting season when we had fresh venison (elk, antelope, mule or whitetail deer), 'hanging and aging'. I still make it when the opportunity presents itself.

This is another of my Mom 's old recipes, and I don 't know where she got it. I never wrote it down before, I just made it when the mood struck me, but this is how I do it when I get the urge. As no outdoor grill is necessary, its great in Montana's climate.

This is the best jerky recipe I have found! You can use either ground venison or beef!

Up here in Wyoming, I do a lot of fishing. I prefer my trout fried, but at a barbeque, this is the best.

A refreshing cooler on a hot day! If possible, use sun brewed tea. When raspberries are in season, squeeze 2 pints of raspberries and discard the pulp and seeds.

Kick off game day with a touchdown-worthy dip, loaded with ground bison meat, tomatoes and cheese. Bring it all together with the heat of McCormick® Hot Chili Seasoning Mix. Garnish with sour cream and peppers, and get the snacking started with tortilla chips.

The temperatures keep creeping up as winter gives way to spring and eventually summer. With these sun-filled days, lighter fare for dinner is more in order. Ceviche, fresh raw fish cured in citrus juices, meets the requirements for a great summer dish: quick, fresh, cooling. This particular recipe features the Going to the Sun IPA from the Great Northern Brewing of Whitefish, Montana.

My family loves couscous and this fruity variation is one of our favorites. This is also delicious with other dried fruit such as cranberries and apricots.
