It has been just so cold lately around here, with snow coming in every few days to drop a few more inches. Really, this is not normal for our area of Colorado, but it is normal for the mountains.
So soups and stews really sounded good to me, beef stew in particular. I made our Slumgullion Stew a week or so ago for us and for friends and caught a picture before we ate it all up. Here is the recipe for Slumgullion Stew.
I made it up on a Saturday morning in my cast iron pan. Let it sit all day, and reheated it for dinner. I think that sitting process allows the flavors to develop and everyone thought it was fantatic. Try it!
First heard of Slumgullion Stew in a movie called “It Happened on 5th Avenue”. Sounded delicious! So I’m gonna give it a taste. Get back to you with the family and friends reaction. God bless you.
In my family, slumgullion was canned spaghetti with ground beef and chopped green olives added. Good, but nothing to get excited about.
I was intrigued to hear of the slumgullion stew in the movie “It Happened on 5th Avenue”. The way the characters talked about it made my mouth water — I wanted to taste it!
This version sounds good; I’ll try it!
I have to laugh when I googled Slumgullion! When I was young we use to go camping for 1-2 wks in remote areas of Colo. and one year it was somewhere near Slumgullion pass. My dad worked for a frozen food company and would pack layers of various frozen foods in an old tall army canvas cooler. By the end of the trip we’d have all kinds of things left over, meats, fish, pancake mix, you name it. My dad would throw it all into a pot, season it up and called it Slumgullion Stew! My family, friends and church members know not to ask me for a recipe because I don’t remember half the time what all I’ve dumped in the mix. In 40+ yrs of cooking I’ve yet to have one bomb on me. Thanks for your site, you’ve left me smiling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
