Think Mulligan stew, at least that's what we call it. For us it is basically whatever you happen to have, and made into a stew. It always seems to come out good, though.

Polish, dont think so but who knows lol. It is a local " soup " that all the small towns around here have at their fairs. It has chicken, beef, corn, tomatoes, carrots, onions, cabbage, potato spagetti noodles(gluten free for me ) poultry seasoning, salt, pepper, celery salt, cook out in kettle over open fire for minimum 12-18 hrs.

cook down till fairly thick depending on ur taste or how long u can stand it.
I just canned 20quarts. and still have pans of it all over my kitchen...will have to wait a day or two till I clean/sanitize more jars and have more time. didnt think we would have quite this much but hubby was in a hurry to eat it and it didnt get as thick as I like it but it shore does taste awsome!!!

When you guys can this type of food how do you know how long to "cook" in the pressure cooker and at what pressure? I know I've never seen any instructions for caning Burgoo or Mulligan Stew.

We love Mulligan Stew and it's a great to make good use of your extra veggies from the garden and old laying hens or bad-boy roosters. It sure would be nice to open a jar once in a while during the cold, dark days of winter.

Sorry I am one of those un"can"ventional canners and only water bath. I can all my stuff for about 90 minutes in water bath. I am sure if you follow instructions on canning meat it would be about the same.
