Derby Day Burgoo Stew

Derby Day Burgoo Stew is a mishmash of meats and vegetables. You might call it the “kitchen sink soup.”

Derby Day Burgoo Stew is a hearty, flavorful stew that is a traditional dish in Kentucky and the American South. It features a rich mixture of meats such as pork, chicken, beef, and sometimes game meats, combined with a variety of vegetables like corn, potatoes, carrots, peas, and beans. The ingredients are slow-cooked to develop deep, savory flavors, and the stew is often seasoned with spices, herbs, and a touch of tomato or tomato-based products.
