CHUCK WAGON CHOW

Chuck Wagon Chow image

To the best of my knowledge, this recipe came from the early days in Colorado...or from the cattle trails leading into Colorado. It is a cowboy recipe and the ingredients can be varied, depending on what's available. In the old days, you couldn't always find what you needed...and sometimes it's fun to vary the ingredients. -Ed Jones, Baker City, Oregon
