Decided to put this in a new thread. Way back in the 1940-70's time period, a lady known as Ma Fuller ran a beer/bbq joint on US Hwy 41. People drove for miles to get her pork BBQ and burgoo. This recipe was published about 20 years after she closed, in the local newspaper. My wife makes a batch every few years, and it's the best burgoo I've ever had. Much better than that stuff that Moonlite in Owensboro is famous for. However, burgoo is a very specialized dish, as no two cooks use the exact same ingredients.
1 chopped onion
1/2 head shred cabbage
2 potatoes diced
3 carrots diced
2 pounds chopped pork bbq
1 pound sausage
1 pound ground beef
1 can blackeye peas
1 can pork and beans
1 can tomatoes
1 can lima beans
1 can green peas
1 can corn
1/2 bottle ketchup
1 tbsp black pepper
1 tsp red pepper
1 tsp vinegar
salt to taste.
Some burgoo I'e eaten has also had hot sauce added, but if done right, it doesn't need a lot of hot sauce.
