RED FLANNEL STEW (SALLYE)
This is a traditional "Wild West" recipe favored by chuck wagon cooks who didn't have access to refrigeration. My grandpa told me that it was named Red Flannel Stew because it was warming on a cold winter's day. Makes sense to me. Whatever else it's called, it has to be called delicious. Enjoy.
