burgoo for the slow cooker
(2 ratings)
Burgoo has been a Kentucky crowd pleaser for more than 150 years. It's midway between a hearty soup and a stew,many people say it started in Owensboro,Kentucky around 1897 in the work camps, using whatever wild game they could find,some people call this version roadkill. No two people make this the same way.Some like it hot some like it so thick a spoon will stand up in the bowl like a stew.There are as many different ways to prepare this,as there are people to eat it. The country club crowd and derby fancy sets call this BUR-goo, while almost everyone else acents the last syllable bur-GOO
