7 Belgian Dishes from Wisconsin Kermiss Tables and the Old Country

I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. The stretch of northeastern Wisconsin running from Green Bay up through Kewaunee and Door counties holds what some historians call the largest rural Belgian settlement in the United States. Walloon families from the provinces of Brabant and Namur began arriving in 1853, most of them within five years, and they cleared the hardwood forest and named their crossroads after the places they had left: Brussels, Namur, Rosiere. Sheboygan, where I live, sits about an hour south of Green Bay down the Lake Michigan shore.

It’s hearty enough for dinner, especially if you have something to dunk in it. I made mine on the stove, and I’ve included a slow cooker version for anyone who wants to get supper started earlier in the day.
