Bigos in a Cauldron with Smoked Meats over a Campfire

The aroma alone will bring all the neighbors running! A truly delicious bigos cooked in a cauldron! To me, bigos is one of those dishes you can't make taste bad, no matter the recipe. My family and I especially love it cooked in a cauldron. You can do it at home on the stove, but in a cauldron out in the open it's something else entirely — an incomparable flavor and aroma, and a really filling meal. Give it a try!
