I have no doubt that this was at times cooked in Steel Dutch ovens, and can imagine it being enjoyed on trips across the vast wheat fields of Sherman County, Oregon. A place I hold dear to my heart, and where simple, peaceful life is still enjoyed to this day. There is something so grounding about a place where working hard, enjoying one another and good food are central to life.
