ingredients
1 pound lean beef stew meat
1 pound pork stew meat, cut in 1-inch pieces
1 teaspoon onion salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 peeled and sliced carrots
1 medium onion, chopped
4 skinned, bone-in chicken thighs
4 small red potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 cup chopped green bell peppers
1 can (14.5 ounce size) stewed tomatoes, undrained
1 can (10.5 ounce size) seasoned chicken broth
1 can (17 ounce size) whole kernel corn, drained
1 can (17 ounce size) lima beans, drained
directions
Place the beef and pork in a crock pot. Sprinkle with the onion salt, black pepper, and cayenne. Mix well.
On top of the meats, layer the carrots, onion, chicken, potatoes, bell pepper, and tomatoes. Do not stir.
Pour the chicken broth over the mixture.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 4-6 hours or until the beef and pork are tender.
Remove the chicken thighs from the crock pot and set on a cutting board. Add the corn and lima beans to the crock pot. Stir the entire mixture. Turn the heat to high and cook for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, cut the chicken meat from the bones. Cut the meat into bite-sized pieces and return to the crock pot. Stir well then serve hot.

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

I've eaten Burgoo at Mark's feed store. What I WOULD add to this is that the pork should be smoked. I know from the waiter that they smoke the pork.

I felt like making a hardy winter dinner, so I chose this recipe. I thought it might end up tasting a little bland, so I was prepared to give it a boost with some black pepper and green Tabasco (my standard, go-to "boost"). But with all the meats and veggies, it was very flavorful on its own. And filling! I liked the soft texture of the potatoes, especially.

I must admit, the reason why I cooked this meal was the name and the suggested meats. But I was so surprised with how it turned out. I used a pork tenderloin and pre cut the pieces. I served it right out of the crock. I think next time I will take out the potatoes and serve with rice or egg noodles. This is going to be great for the winter months.
I made this using deer meat instead of beef. I had to add salt and garlic powder to taste and thicken the juices to make it like a stew. All the guys really liked it.

Made it today and it was good. Now then, the Burgoo to which I must compare it was what I have had a few times at a place called "Mark's Feed Store" in Louisville. Their recipe seemed pretty much the same except thicker (as if made with Cream of Chicken soup instead of chicken broth) and a tad "peppery-er". I really liked it that way and so the next time I make it (and there will be a next time), I will likely try it with the Cream of Chicken soup and a little more pepper.
I'm anxious to give this recipe a try, but I have one question regarding ingredients. You mention: 1/4 teaspoon ground red bell peppers When I see "red bell pepper", I understand that to mean the large, sweet variety. Using "1/4 teaspoon ground" makes me believe it should be more of the cayenne variety. Unless I hear otherwise, I'll go with the cayenne.
Yep, pretty sure they meant cayenne. Will update the recipe to reflect that.
