Kent is quite an historian, in addition to being a great cook!

[@crossbowsniper]

He sure is. I do SASS competitions and learning from watching his channel has helped me take my camp setups to a much more traditional setup for my cooking and such.

[@mr.bonesbbq3288]

Any body asides me remember "Fryin Pans West", with Sam Arnold??? Was an early TV Cookin Show, still have a paperback cookbook... Sam an Kent woulda hit it off, like Peas an Carrots...

[@mrenfilade7178]

@@mr.bonesbbq3288 Never did see that. As far as "gool ol' boy" cooking shows, I loved Justin Wilson's show -- he and Kent have a similar charisma, in my opinion.

[@mr.bonesbbq3288]

[@SueBHoney-cq8co]

Very interesting stories and a great cook. I would love to have one of those spatulas, but it's a little to expensive for me ( sigh ) Have a good day all you cowboys and cowgirls.

[@tammylawson9712]

Thank you for this recipe, going to try it out soon. Kent, you personally wrote a note to me when my husband bought a hash knife from you last year. It was so sweet of you and now I'm asking you for something extra. Can you say a prayer for my husband, he absolutely loves and admires you and has not only been diagnosed with bladder cancer but is fighting covid now. We really love watching you it brings a smile to our faces. Thanks 😊

[@tammylawson9712]

P.S. His name is Kevin

[@user-yz7ds7rn9b]

Prayer for you both.

[@126hdyna3]

The old stories is something I could listen to all day!

[@penelopefp]

Me, tired, not in the mood to cook dinner, listening to Cowboy Kent to keep me company.... and by the end of the video I'm feeling more thankful for the food and stirring more love into the meal. Thanks Kent and Shan not only for the recipes but for the joy and attitude adjustment. Dinner's served with a joyful heart tonight.

[@PaolodAlesio]

I want to see this guy in Red Dead Redemption 3!

[@richardcranium8408]

Got to hand it to you, Ken. As a sailor living full time on his sailboat in Norway, you bring back fond memories of my time in college as a student pilot in Arkansas. Keep up the good work. Your cooking, expressions, tips, and tricks are much appreciated.

[@ryanthelion8319]

Fucking hell, I was born and raised in New York City. The only time I got on a boat was to go to citi field for a baseball game. You are a whole sailor from Norway. We have completely different lives, yet we both took the time to watch a cowboy teach us how to make stew. Kind of cool if you ask me.

[@johnsheetz6639]

Are you living an interesting life! if I may so say! Happy travels my friend!

[@mikeeasterday9557]

As an Army Veteran , you are so sincere as a TRUE AMERICAN !!! Everytime , I will end crying !!!

[@John_Doe657]

A fitting supper for a cold and snowy swedish afternoon. It would be well acompanied with some crisp bread. Great content 🇸🇪 🇺🇸👍

[@CowboyKentRollins]

Stay warm and thanks for watching

[@karenroot450]

This stew is great. I’d much rather have Swedish meatballs, mashed potatoes, and of course Ligonberries!! I don’t have time but I’ll get this meal on Christmas Eve! Bless you

[@John_Doe657]

@@karenroot450 well it’s not the most exclusive meal but many times the best ones aren’t. It’s about balancing the flavours, the lingonberries adds a nice sweetness to an otherwise pretty salty dish. Btw mashed potatoes is a nice variation if you find boiled potatos booring. Cheers 🙂

[@davidmorris6539]

Thank you, Cooke, For all your grate cooking recipes,. From down under in Australia ,, 🤠👍🏻, God bless you bother

Lol, the solution to needing "a dab o' grease" is a whole pound of bacon? A man after my own heart!

[@SticksAandstonesBozo]

I spent the last 10 years watching your content adding twists and whole recipes to my list of things to make. That entire time I was living in a horrible part of the world where cooking outside was impossible. No place to go nothing to see within hours and hours. Now out of no where life changed completely and we got out of that place and now are closing on our dream home smack in the center of the black hills national forest. We went from 7 hour drive to see a tree to sitting listening to a waterfall on my back deck watching deer walk by. Anyways just wanted to say I know a lot of people feel trapped in bad spots in life. It took me 15 years to get out of the mess that was the recession. Now I can watch your videos and know that I can walk outside soon and cook or camp or see the beauty of the earth. Thank you for all you do and giving me hope for all those years when I saw no chance of getting out from that place.

[@CowboyKentRollins]

So glad your getting the place you need

[@myronadams2101]

Reminds me a lot of deer camp stew we’d make. While everyone was eating lunch and refilling their coffee thermos, I’d start up something similar in a DutchOven and put it on a blow heat and we’d all hit the woods again. First one back to camp would get some coals going and we’d stack the ovens and make a pan of cornbread for soaking up the stew

[@pennyblack1970]

Well now if that isn't a hearty and yummy looking stew, I don't know what is. You always make me hungry when I watch your videos. You, Shan, and the pups have a very blessed week. Stay safe and stay well.

[@CowboyKentRollins]

Thanks Penny and you be safe as well

[@glorygracek.1841]

This is so funny! We are having crockpot Cattle drive stew for supper in about a 1hour and a 1/2!

[@Circ00mspice]

Oddly specific timing

[@Last_Chance.]

I'll be there in 5 minutes.

[@CHICOB4261]

Mr. Kent I truly love watching every episode you put out. I love that you mention veterans and first responders at the end of every episode (U.S. Marine 10 years LEO 26 years). My mom was born in Seminole, Oklahoma and taught me a lot about cooking and we love to talk about your shows. Still got family out in Oklahoma so we feel so connected to Oklahoma. Like good old Merle Haggard would say “I’m an Okie from Muskogee “ in my heart”. God bless you and Shannon stay well and be well!

This Stew will be wonderful during the colder weather coming up. Also, I made an Omelet mixing some of the Mesquite seasoning in the eggs and some of your salsa on top... that was so good

[@CowboyKentRollins]

So glad you enjoyed

Yep be good it will and be safe out there on the road

[@1notgilty]

Congratulations Kent - With nearly TWO MILLION subscribers you have more regular viewers than CNN and many of the "main-stream" TV networks. Please keep up your great work!

[@deborahmcsweeney3349]

I so loved this! My great grandpa and grandpa ranched in New Mexico and I was raised on stew! Grandpa told me that after being on the trail his favorite food was canned stewed tomatoes with bread broken in it. He said the salty freshness of the canned tomatoes was so refreshing after being in the saddle all day! Lol

[@thomasmorelli9271]

We are due for a blizzard here in Maine this Saturday. Already bought all of the ingredients. We'll' hunker down and warm up thanks!

[@CowboyKentRollins]

Stay warm and hope yall enjoy

[@rilyb15]

I like the tomato addition to the stew. Very interesting. I usually only have tomatoes in chili. GAME CHANGER!

[@CowboyKentRollins]

It's so good!

[@Jackbarrany]

Adds a pleasant zing and acidity that’s often missing in stew.

I use this recipe but often double down on the lee and perrins, the black pepper , and occasionally add a teaspoon or more of cayenne to give it a light kick. Pan fried cornbread is the perfect match for this. My Grandmother added corn as well. Thank you for the recipe and I enjoy your channel sir.

[@johnhenryholiday4964]

I consider that Kent and Shan are one couple that EVERYONE should take lesson from.... Kindness, Courtesy, God like love for everyone.... THANK YOU FOR BEING WHO YOU ARE !!! BTW .... I cooked a large double batch of this stew and it was AWESOME.... sadly I didnt have any of kents spices (ordering today) so I substituted with a little cajun spice.... it was PERFECT....

[@user-ui1ts4oh6r]

Thank you, Kent for your efforts. I don't have a lot of cowboy in my genes, mostly Pirates and ne'er-do-wells on my Mother's side, later to become Bikers and ne'er-do-wells. On my Father's side were peasant farmers out of Poland. Im sure they both struggled with primarive cooking conditions and gobbled down more than their share of salt pork. Nice to see you making the effort.😊
