LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Here's your chance to taste Kentucky’s most famous stew called Burgoo.
WDRB's Keith Kaiser learns how creative cooks will be at the Burgoo Bash.
The first Burgoo recipes date back before the Civil War.
Typically, whatever you have in the refrigerator goes in the pot.
A traditional Burgoo has at least three different meats with vegetables like corn, okra and lima beans.

On Saturday, March 18 at 3 p.m., it's Louisville’s 2nd annual Burgoo Bash: a Pro-Am cook-off (sponsored by Monks Road Bourbon) aimed at bringing out the best amateur and professional Burgoo makers in the region.
Creators will be free to interpret what Burgoo means to them.

Prizes include trophies, gift certificates and more.
The competition is open to the first 20 participants with 15 spots reserved for home chefs and five spots for restaurant entrants.
