I don't see it. Please do a bump on it so it will be obvious.

That was an error on my part last evening. Spent a good portion of my evening typing it up on my cellular device. Noticed some errors and hit select all and accidentally deleted. I made an edit on my post explaining my error. Said screw it and went to bed. Here ya go and keep in mind the only thing missing is my rub recipe, but it’s my family’s recipe for the most part.

Don’t skip the step of grinding your meat. A butcher shop can do this if you don’t own a grinder.

Also, if you do not want to not smoke your own meat, you can save time by going to your local bbq joint. I smoke my meat because I know what I like. Use smoked meat though. My family used to use a big cast iron pot and a fire outside. Smoked meat makes a difference.

Play with the sauces to get it right for your own tastes. Chicken, pork, and beef-no beans is how I grew up on it.

Lastly, this recipe will make 2 crock pots full.. give or take. Scale to fit your needs. You don’t need to have everything this recipe calls ( like a smoker etc) you can make it work with what you own in order to have a good product. Use what you got. Ooooh cornbread... serve with it.

Prep time the amount of time you have to live

Cook time as long as you got. Low and slow. The longer the better

1- chicken
1- 2 pound pork roast
1- 2 pound beef roast
2-28ounce whole tomatoes, keep juice 2- 15.5 can diced tomatoes, keep juice 2- 14.5 ounce cans of corn drained
1 cup catsup
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
3 T dry rub
21/2 cups chicken stock
1 cup beef stock
1 cup pork stock
2 cups water
Cover chicken, pork and beef in dry rub and cook. Smoke chicken with one stick of butter in cavity. Smoke the pork and beef as well ( Grind up cooked meat and chicken. DONT SKIP!!!! Add half of meat mixture in each crockpot.
Dice three onions and cook until clear. Divide in two, half in one crockpot, half in the other. Add one can of whole tomatoes and juice at a time to blender to coarsely chop, then pour in crockpot. Repeat with other 28 ounce can of tomatoes, adding to the other crockpot. Add 1-15.5 ounce of diced tomatoes, with juice to each crockpot. Add one can of corn, drained to each crockpot. Add 1

1/4 cup of chicken stock in each crockpot. Add 1 cup of water to each crockpot. Stir to combine.
Sauce:
1 cup catsup
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 sticks of butter
3 T of dry rub
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce 1 cup of beef stock
1 cup of pork stock
Add to saucepan and heat up. Then divide and add half to each crockpot. Cook low and slow. Add broth or water if needed.

Thanks I thought the beef stock (base stock) in "my" recipe was a little too much beef flavor. (Note: It seems you are using only 1/2 cup of chicken stock ^^, with 2 cups left over - ? ) Sometimes you see turkey stock/broth in stores, especially this time of year (nearly fall). Thought I might use turkey broth as the base broth/stock and as another New World ingredient and another animal protein to compare with/complement the chicken.

I Googled for commercial pork stock and it is unavailable unless I missed it. The "pork gravy" had no pork in it. But pork stock would be easy to make if one had the bones, but i probably wouldn't bother. Should be enough juices from the pork roast.

'Preciate the tips about smoking/roasting, etc. Not meant as sharp-shooting, but wanted to give my reaction.

Edit: You add no sugar! which is a bonus.

Also I would try serving this over rice (non-traditional) - perhaps as a leftover use. Drain excess 'water', use some to flavor the rice (prepared dryish), then put drained stew over it. Prediction -> delish!

Something similar to your potatoes and peppers (w/kielbasa) that is quick and easy. Note: quantities vary as you please

Potatoes cut up
Onions cut up
Olive oil (or other non-neutral oil) - slather/splash on (Alternative is butter)
Oregano dusted over the top
(optional/alternative to oregano) Italian herb seasoning (like McCormick's) dusted on top
(optional) Seasoning salt, like Cavender's Greek seasoning
Place all in covered casserole dish

Nuke for however long (onions soft/potatoes soft)
Stir once before serving.

Can put into aluminum foil (tin foil) and put into your coals if roughing it.
