Burgoo

g8golfer

Decide to make some burgoo today. My wife is having her wisdom teeth cut out tomorrow so I wanted to cook something and have some left overs for 2-3 days. The recipe is one I got from an older friend that's been passed down for a long time. It's way better then chili. It's got a lot of different ingredients but man it's so good.

@theyolksonyou - Burgoo is a BBQ'd meat n veggie stew.  If made right its very good but if not you'll swear it off. 

@g8golfer - nice Goo.  you mind sharing the recipe?

It's a stew kinda like chili but way better. I will list the recipe below. If you like chili or vegetables soup then try this. It's just different lol.

1 pound of ground chuck or beef 
1 pound group turkey 
1 pound group pork 
1 pound of lamb
I personally don't use lamb so I substitute it with one of the meats above 
1 can of mushrooms 
2 large chopped onions 
1 large can of crushed tomatoes 
2 cans of chili beans 
1 can of light red kidney beans 
1 can of dark red kidney beans 
2 large cans of spaghetti O's 
1 large bottle of spicy ketchup 
Brown sugar
1 large can of Parmesan chesse 
1/2 bottle of paprika 
1 large can of tomato juice 

-Brown all your meat in 1 pan and then drain it
-Add onions and cook until tender
-In another large cooker add the crushed tomatoes, chili beans, kidney beans, spaghetti O's, ketchup, paprika, and tomato juice on low heat and let it simmer or come to a boil. On the tomato juice just add what you need. You don't need to add the whole can. On the mushrooms and beans I strain them before I add them cause I don't want my burgoo to soupy. 
-Then add the meat with the other ingredients and let it simmer for 5-10 minutes on low heat. 
-Add the can of Parmesan chesse and brown sugar. Use the brown sugar to make as sweet at you like. I use about a 1/4 of the 1 pound bag. 

I added red pepper flakes to make spicy. If you decide to make it and have any question just PM me and I will answer. It's really simple and it makes a ton of burgoo. I think this recipe has been used for 50+ years.

I have to say that is the first time I have seen Spaghetti O's in a recipe ingredient list!! Well done, I may have to try this.

I usually cook it 2 times a year. A batch in the spring and a batch in the fall. I know it's a little different then what most ppl cook but I promise it's really good. We have a local golf tournament and the course makes a batch that feeds 100-150 ppl and the players rave about it.

This sounds like it was created on a snowed in evening when the power went out to the freezer.
