Roughneck Stew Recipe ✨
My dad worked as a directional driller for a lot of my childhood and he would often cook for the guys on his rigs. When times were good he’d be smoking ribs or grilling tri-tip, other times he’d be making them things like this. Hence the name, “Roughneck stew”
This specific recipe cost me less than $10 to make, the most expensive ingredient being the sausage.
I keep potatoes and onions on hand for filler in certain recipes, as well as many seasonings.
(Seriously do I need to make a post where I declutter my spice cabinet? I will😂)
Any Cajun seasoning will work for this recipe, here I used the TikTok famous Cajun two step, my dad always used Tony Chachere’s (my favorite seasoning of all time).
This would definitely feed 4 hungry men, however you could double it and feed the whole rig. Offshores a different story😂
