Ingredients

  • 10 oz Brown or Black Bear Meat (I chose the backstrap cut)
  • 1 container White Mushrooms
  • 1/4 Yellow Onion
  • 3 tablespoons Low Sodium Soy Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
  • 2 Garlic Cloves
  • 4 Sprigs of Fresh Thyme
  • 1/4 cup Sour Cream
  • 1/4 cup Cream Cheese
  • 1/2 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
  • 1/2 cup Shredded Parmesan
  • 1 cup Spinach
  • 2 tablespoons Montreal Steak Seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 tablespoons Garlic Powder
  • 1 box Organic Red Lentil Penne Noodles.

Instructions

  • Slice the bear meat into small 1/2 inch cubes, cutting away any gristle or fat.
  • Mince the garlic cloves and dice the onion.
  • Slice the mushrooms.
    Chop-Up-Mushrooms
  • Separate the thyme leaves from the stem and mince.
  • Bring three quarts of water to a boil and add in the noodles. They should take 7-9 minutes but as they boil, check their consistency for a texture you prefer.
  • In a large pan or a wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. While it warms, cover the bear meat in the Montreal seasoning and garlic powder, making sure all sides are covered in seasoning.
  • When the oil begins to pop and crackle, add the meat to the pan, stirring occasionally.
  • When the meat begins to brown, add in the garlic, mushrooms, and onions. Continue to stir until the meat is brown on all sides.
  • Add in the soy sauce, thyme, and Worcestershire sauce and cook for another 5 minutes.
  • Add the Greek yogurt, cream cheese, sour cream, and Parmesan cheese and mix until all parts are combined. Let the mixture bubble on medium-low heat.
  • As the flavors combine, strain the noodles and rinse with warm water. Add the noodles to the dish and let it simmer for another 5 minutes.

Notes

When I make pasta of any sort I make my serving size much larger than I need to. Leftover pasta is a great treat and you will certainly be going back for seconds after you taste this dish. The ingredients above makes approximately 8 servings at around 525 calories a serving. This is a hearty dish that will keep you cozy and full. Time to eat! Serve the dish with a nice side salad and top it with hot sauce if you are feeling spicy!
