This is a great and easy rabbit recipe. Use young fresh rabbits for a better result. Cotton tails are particularly well suited for this recipe. Jack Rabbits, not so much.
Ingredients
- Barbecue Sauce
- 2 medium onions, finely chopped
- 2 green peppers, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced

Heat oven to 300°. In medium saucepan, combine all barbecue sauce ingredients. Cook over medium-high heat until bubbly, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat. Simmer 10 minutes.
