This was really good, kind of like a tomato basil soup. Dh did not like it by itself. He ate it with spaghetti noodles and he said it was fantastic that way. The kids ate it as spaghetti too. I really like this low point soup/sauce and will make it again. This is super easy to make too!

Slow Cooking Thursday

As most of you know, I am from Kentucky. One of the best known events in Kentucky, The Kentucky Derby, takes place this weekend. Now, while I do not gamble or bet on these horses, you can not live in Kentucky and not know about the Kentucky Derby. This is a recipe for burgoo. Burgoo is a Kentucky recipe and from what I have been told is served at the KY Derby in paper cups. This recipe calls for a lot of meat, but the orginal burgoo recipes were used to use up leftover meats and people just throw a little bit of everything in it. I first tried this recipe at a cooking school held in my county and just looking at the recipe, I thought I would hate it, but the small sample I was given made me want more. I have made this recipe several times and I really like it. Hope you enjoy it as well.
