Introduction

This spring time stew is a must have at any Derby party! Traditionally made with pork, beef, chicken, and rabbit, I've added more veggies and lightened the meat. The best part: This is a slow cooker recipe, so the burgoo will be ready when the horses are loading into the gate.

    2 garlic cloves, chopped
    1 14.5-ounce can no salt added diced tomatoes
    1/2 teaspoon black pepper
    1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
    1/2 teaspoon thyme, dried

Tips

If you don't like sweet potatoes, try redskin potatoes instead.


Directions

Dice the pork and chicken into 3/4 inch cubes. Add the meats, onions, carrots, celery, garlic, tomatoes, spices, and stock to a slow cooker. Stir to combine, layer the sweet potatoes on top, then cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours.

After 5-6 hours, add the lima beans and corn, stir and cook for another 30 minute to an hour.

Combine the cornstarch with 1/4 cup water, then add to the stew, stir and cook 10 more minutes with the lid off before serving.

Serve with hot sauce to taste.

    This is so good!!! The only thing that I changed was a substitution of Black Beans for Lima Beans. - 4/30/12

    Loved it. I suggest adding the sweet potatoes about 1 hour into cooking if they are bite size. And add corn starch and water about 30 minutes before finishing the cooking. Other than that, I really enjoyed the recipe. Oh, and only use 2 onions. - 5/30/12

    Made for church supper (hot sauce on side for Lutherans) w/sweet potatoes; substituted a mix of home-cooked beans (Lima, navy, black) & added a few tablespoons of barley.Therefore,did not use thickener. Excellent flavor & nutrition, works even on a paper plate if you have enough vegetables. - 12/5/12

    I made the recipe as printed except my can of tomatoes had salt. It was just OK; bland to my tastes. Most Burgoo recipes include Worcester Sauce. vinegar or lemon juice (acid!) and salt which i will add next time to boost flavor. Maybe shredded cabbage too. - 10/22/12

    Easy to make. Substitute scallions or sweet onions or leeks for the yellow onions if you are concerned about onion overload. - 4/3/12
