Kentucky Burgoo image

Burgoo is a stew made with a variety of meats and vegetables and is a Kentucky tradition, often cooked in large pots and for events and barbecues on open fires. Who knows the origin of the word burgoo, it could be from a mispronunciation of the word barbecue to a mispronunciation of bird stew, but the origin remains a mystery. This recipe makes enough to feed an army and when my entire family gets together, that's about what we've got. My husband makes this for his hunting buddies. Adapted from Southern Living.

I love this burgoo! It's so hearty and flavorful. I always make a big batch and freeze the leftovers for easy meals later.

This burgoo was a bit too salty for my taste, but overall it was a good meal. I think next time I'll use less salt.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll use less chili powder.

This burgoo was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably won't make this again.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The broth was too thin and the meat was tough. I won't be making this again.

This burgoo was a little bland for my taste, but it was still a good hearty meal. I think next time I'll add some more spices.

I've made this burgoo several times now and it's always a winner. It's a great way to use up leftover meat and vegetables, and it's always a crowd-pleaser.
