How to Make Alabama Camp Stew

  1. In a large Dutch oven, combine beef and pork. Add 8 cups of water, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until meat is very tender (approximately 1.5-2 hours).

  3. Remove any bones from the meat and coarsely grind or chop the meat.
  4. Add the potatoes, crushed tomatoes, and chopped onions to the pot with the cooking liquid.
  5. Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and beginning to fall apart (approximately 30-45 minutes).
  6. Add the ground/chopped meat back to the pot.
  7. Stir in ketchup, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper (if using).
