For a richer flavor, brown the squirrel pieces in a skillet with a little olive oil before adding them to the slow cooker. Add a bay leaf or a sprig of thyme to the stew for extra depth of flavor. If you don't have squirrel, you can substitute rabbit or other game meat. Adjust the amount of water to your liking, depending on how thick you prefer your stew.
