Cajun Baked Rabbit

Leave the rabbit whole. Season well with seasoned salt and black pepper. Stuff the cavity of the rabbit with large chunks of onion, bell pepper, celery and garlic. After stuffing with the vegetables, wrap slices of bacon around the rabbit and secure with toothpicks to hold the bacon on and to help hold in the vegetables. Pour a small amount (about 1-2 Tbsp.) of vegetable oil in a roasting pan. Place the rabbit in the roasting pan and add about a 1/4 cup of water. Cover and bake at 350 degrees F. for 2-3 hours or until tender. Remove cover for the last 1/2 hour of baking time to allow rabbit to brown. I also used a packaged dry onion soup mix at the end of the cooking time to make the gravy.
