Burgoo is Kentucky’s version of the Brunswick stew in many BBQ restaurants in Georgia, Alabama, and the Carolinas. The common ingredient is meat, lots of different kinds and often from leftover barbecue.  

 

Served with cornbread, corn muffins and biscuits are the most traditional, but crusty bread works too.

Ingredient

2 Tbsp vegetable oil 

1 large onion, diced 

2 stalks celery, diced 

1 green or red bell pepper, diced 

1 large russet potato, peeled and diced 

3 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce 

1 Tbsp Greek Limnos Lamb Rub 

1/2 tsp Minced Garlic 

1 (14 oz.) crushed tomatoes canned, or fresh 

1 (10 oz.) bag frozen mixed vegetables (e.g. peas, carrots, corn, green beans) or fresh 

1 cup frozen lima beans 

1 to 2 lbs mixed smoked or cooked meats (e.g. brisket, chopped mutton, shredded chicken) 

8 cups beef or chicken broth 

Salt & pepper, to season

Instruction

1

Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onions and cook about 5 min until translucent. 

2

Add celery, bell pepper, and potato and cook another 5 min., stirring occasionally. 

3

Add Worcestershire sauce and Greek Limnos Lamb Rub to pot of veggies. Stir in all remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. 

4

Reduce heat and simmer for 2 to 4 hours, stirring occasionally. The longer the stew simmers, the thicker it will become. Season with salt & pepper to taste before serving. Enjoy! ❤️
