If you are like most people you have never heard of, much less eaten burgoo. This is one of those times it's definately best to be in the minority.
Burgoo is a savory stew made from a varying array of ingredients.
It is often cooked in enormous iron kettles outdoors over an open flame. Cooking can take as long as 30 hours and flavor improves as it ages. It has been said that burgoo is more of a concept than a recipe. This is because there are as many different ways to prepare burgoo as there are people who prepare it. Of course there are also many spices to choose from as well.
