Instructions
  1. Melt butter in a large pot. Cook onion until softened.
  2. Add chicken, pork, tomatoes, broth, corn, beans, potatoes, Worcestershire, and hot sauce.
  3. Bring to a simmer. Cook uncovered until potatoes are tender and stew thickens, 45 to 60 minutes.

Notes

  • Use leftover barbecue if you have it.
  • For a smoother stew, mash some of the potatoes and beans against the side of the pot.
