How to Make Alabama Camp Stew

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).
Remove meat from the pot and set aside. Let cool slightly.
Remove any bones from the meat and coarsely grind or chop the meat.
Add the potatoes, crushed tomatoes, and chopped onions to the pot with the cooking liquid.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and beginning to fall apart (approximately 30-45 minutes).
Add the ground/chopped meat back to the pot.
Stir in ketchup, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper (if using).
Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 hour, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
Stir in frozen corn and simmer for an additional 20 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve hot with cornbread.
