This is an authentic trail drive recipe as it requires no eggs
- 3
Chuck wagon cooks seldom saw eggs

Most chuck wagons carried no sugar and Sorghum syrup (one cup) was used instead of sugar
- 5
If Sorghum is used use one cup less of the milk
- 6
Milk also was a rarity on chuck wagons – so this recipe was usually made with canned milk
- 7
This is a great recipe for packing in if using canned milk-all ingredients will fit into the Dutch oven while packing it in

Sometimes dried apples and raisins are used together and rum or whiskey could be added
