• 2 cups diced potatoes
• 2 15-ounce cans canned diced tomatoes (undrained)
• 1 15-ounce can canned tomato sauce
• 1 15-ounce can canned creamed corn
• 1 15-ounce can canned whole kernel corn (drained)
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup ketchup
• 1 cup barbecue sauce (your favorite)
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 0 hot sauce (optional, to taste)

Directions

Step 1

In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat (if desired, not listed in ingredients). Cook the diced onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Add the diced potatoes, canned diced tomatoes with their juice, tomato sauce, creamed corn, and whole kernel corn to the pot. Stir to combine.

Step 3

Add the shredded chicken, pulled pork, and sliced smoked sausage to the pot. Stir everything together.

Step 4

Pour in the chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, ketchup, and barbecue sauce. Stir to combine and ensure all ingredients are well-integrated.

Step 5

Season with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Add hot sauce if desired, adjusting to your personal taste.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot with a lid and let it simmer slowly for 1 to 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Check for seasoning and adjust as needed before serving. The stew should be thick, flavorful, and hearty.

Step 8

Serve hot with crackers, cornbread, or as is. Enjoy your Alabama Camp Stew!
