burgoo

Hearty Southern stew

Burgoo is a thick, slow-cooked stew associated with Kentucky and the American South, traditionally made with multiple meats and vegetables.

Originally a communal dish prepared in large batches for gatherings and political rallies, it remains a fixture at Derby parties and church fundraisers: The burgoo had been simmering since dawn.
