Burgoo Stew

Burgoo Stew

Have you ever heard of burgoo?  It’s a Kentucky stew that can vary each time you make it!  Burgoo typically has three meats and a variety of vegetables like corn, potatoes, lima beans, and even cabbage.  Most cooks have one secret ingredient, like brown sugar or a dash or hot sauce. 

Instead of buying all of the ingredients, keep small amounts of leftovers in the fridge (that one piece of steak from the cookout; vegetables left over from a meal, a chicken breast that didn’t make it into the casserole).  And then throw them all together to make the stew.  It’s a yummy way to use up leftovers that aren’t large enough for a full meal.
