Cowboy Recipes for Dinner

Cattle Drive Casserole

Cowboys have to sit down to dinner too, and whether that means a steaming pot of beans or a delicious chicken and cornbread casserole, these recipes will be waiting till the cows come home. Well maybe not that long, but you catch our drift. We recommend the BBQ baked beans and the cowboy chili for some delicious lighter options or sides, or if you're really hungry, try the Cattle Drive Casserole or Cowboy Chili. You can't go wrong with serving old recipes. There's a reason they've lasted this long.
