Burgoo

This is one of those quintessential Kentucky Derby foods that- unless you’re doing research on or have attended the Derby- you would not likely hear about. I like to think about this as Kentucky’s answer to Cholent. It cooks low and slow in the cooker, giving the dish a robust and hearty flavor.
