Number Of Ingredients 20

2 tablespoons olive oil
2.5 pounds chuck roast or other stew meat (cut into chunks)
2.5 pounds boneless chicken thighs (cut into chunks)
1 large onion (chopped)
1 large green pepper (chopped)
2-3 jalapeno peppers (chopped (optional, for some spice factor))
3 carrots (peeled and chopped)
2 celery ribs (chopped)
4 cloves garlic (chopped)
8 cups chicken stock or use beef stock
28 ounces crushed tomatoes canned (or fresh)
Hot Sauce to taste + more for serving
2 bay leaves
1.5 pounds potatoes (peeled and diced)
2 cups shredded cabbage
1.5 cups corn (frozen or fresh)
1.5 cups peas (frozen or fresh)
1 cup green beans (chopped (frozen or fresh))
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a very large pot (at least 8 quarts) to medium-high heat. Season the beef and chicken with salt and pepper. Sear them in batches in the pot a few minutes per side to brown them. Remove and set aside.
  • Reduce the heat to medium. Add the onion, peppers, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5 minutes to soften. Stir in the garlic and cook another minute until the garlic becomes fragrant.
  • Add the chicken stock, crushed tomatoes, hot sauce to taste and bay leaves. Return the browned meats to the pot. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 2 hours.
  • Break apart any larger chunks of meat with forks, if desired.
  • Add the potatoes, cabbage, corn, peas, green beans, and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer for 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are softened and cooked through.
  • Taste and adjust for salt and pepper and hot sauce. Serve with extra hot sauce!
