Questions

Can I make Burgoo gluten-free?

Yes. The gluten in this entry is 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce. Swap the soy-based sauce for tamari or coconut aminos. Everything else proceeds as written.

How long does Burgoo keep?

Refrigerate it up to four days, or freeze it in portions for up to three months. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of water or stock to loosen it.

Can I halve or double Burgoo?

Yes. As written it serves 8. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. When doubling on the stovetop, use your widest pan or work in two batches so the food sears instead of steaming.
