SLOW COOKER KENTUCKY BURGOO

Steps:

• 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.

KENTUCKY BURGOO

Steps:

• In a large heavy pot heat the oil over medium-high heat. Season the beef, lamb and chicken with Essence, salt and pepper and add in batches to the pot, searing on all sides. Add the quartered onions, whole garlic, red pepper, and bay leaves, and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer uncovered, skimming to remove any scum that forms on the surface, until the meat is tender and the chicken is falling from the bones, about 2 hours.
• Strain, reserving the broth. When the meats and chicken are cool enough to handle, remove the skin and bones and discard. Chop the meat.
• Return the clean pot to the heat and cook the bacon over medium-high heat until the fat is rendered and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon. To the fat in the pan, add the chopped onions, carrots and bell peppers, and cook stirring, until soft, 4 minutes. Add the chopped garlic, and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the potatoes, lima beans, Worcestershire and sugar, and enough reserved broth to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring often, until thick and the potatoes are tender, 30 minutes to 1 hour. Add the corn and cooked meat and chicken and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20 to 30 minutes. Add the bacon and parsley and stir.
• Remove from the heat and serve hot with Cheesy Garlic Grits Casserole and hot biscuits.
