I have always battered them in flour lightly and brown on a frying pan. After they are browned i put them in a crockpot with cream of mushroom soup for six or so hours.
I don't really have a recipe. I call it cooking with abandon... I just boil them till I can stick a fork in easily but not to the point where it's falling off the bone. If I'm going to batter / fry them, I'll quarter it up after they've been tenderized and go from there. If you skip boiling them it'll be squirrel jerky.
If I'm making a stew or soup, I'll save the broth from when I boiled them, cook the veggies / taters, etc. in the broth, and then add the squirrel after I debone it. Add salt / pepper and some garlic and that's about all I do for seasoning.
I used to cook them whole in a stew in a crockpot but don't do that anymore because of all the little bones.

I've taken to skinning them and cooking them in a pressure cooker until the meat is easily stripped from the bones.
Here are a couple good ones.

Another one I came up with recently is to add 3lb cooked squirrel meat to 2 cans of cream of chicken, 14 oz chicken broth, 3 tablespoons butter and 1lb German spaetzle pasta. Cook it until the sauce thickens and the pasta is cooked. Toss in some peas and mushrooms or other vegetables if you like.

2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt ,1/2 tsp pepper or to taste, 1 tsp dried thyme leaves, 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

1 cup buttermilk
1 quart canned squirrel meat, deboned (or two to three squirrels, cooked fork tender)
2 cups frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
two medium potatoes diced (1/4" or so)

Heat oven to 350°F.
In 5 or 6 quart sautee pan with lid or large cast iron skillet with lid, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, potato; cook until onion is tender, add garlic, cook 1 minute. Stir in flour until well blended, cook 2-3 minutes. Gradually stir in broth and milk, add seasonings, cook, stirring constantly, until bubbly and thickened.
Stir in squirrel, mixed vegetables and mushrooms, bring up to a simmer, then cover and bake 30 minutes. While casserole bakes, prepare dough. remove pan from the oven, and adjust oven temp to the correct temp for cooking your biscuits. drop dough by spoonfulls or lay your sorry-ass canned biscuits on top of casserole, return to oven and bake until your biscuits are golden brown. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
