Smokey Bones
Recipe Introduction
Yield: 12 (1 1/2-cup) servings.
List of Ingredients
1/2 chicken (about 1 1/2 pounds; see note)
About 6 cups water
2/3 pound ground beef
1 1/2 pounds onions, diced (about 4 cups)
3/4 pound smoked pulled pork (see note)
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
2 (14 1/2-ounce) cans diced tomatoes in juice
3/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
3/4 teaspoon hot sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 cup barbecue spice (such as Reese's Mesquite Barbecue Seasoning)
2 (15-ounce) cans cream-style corn
Recipe
Cut chicken into pieces, place in a stockpot and cover with water. Bring to a
boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer until chicken is tender, about 30 minutes.
Remove chicken; pour stock into a bowl or large measuring cup. When chicken is
cool, discard skin. Pull meat from bones; discard bones. Tear meat into small
pieces.
In a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until about half done. Add
onions; cook until translucent, about 8 minutes. Add chicken and pulled pork;
stir and cook until well mixed and heated through, about 5 minutes. Remove from
heat.
Transfer the meat mixture to the stockpot. Stir in 4 cups of the reserved
chicken stock. Stir in tomatoes and their juice, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce,
hot sauce, salt, pepper, sugar, barbecue spice and corn. Bring to a boil, then
reduce heat and simmer about 1 hour, stirring occasionally, adding stock if
needed.

Testers' note: One pound of ground pork may be substituted for the smoked pulled
pork; cook the ground pork with the beef and add 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke to
the stew along with the other seasonings.
If you don't want to start with raw chicken, substitute 6 ounces of smoked
chicken meat and use water or canned broth in place of the stock. Smoked pulled
pork without sauce is available by the pound at Super Smokers Barbecue. Many
area markets carry pulled pork with other prepared meats, but many of those have
sauce already added.
