For an even richer flavor, consider browning the bacon slightly in a skillet before draping it over the pheasants. If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can whisk in a tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with two tablespoons of cold water during the last hour of cooking. Serve alongside creamy mashed potatoes or wild rice pilaf to soak up the delectable sauce.

Aug 12, 2024Next time, I'll try browning the bacon first. I think it will add even more flavor.

May 21, 2024Be careful not to overcook the pheasant, or it will become dry. Check it after 7 hours on Low.
