Start by preparing two large pots for the stew.

Add 2 diced onions, one in each pot.

Add 2 pounds of diced red potatoes, dividing them between the two pots.

Season the potatoes and onions with salt and coarse black pepper.

Stir the mixture and let the potatoes and onions soften.

Once softened, add 1.5 pounds of ground beef, dividing it between the pots.

Brown the ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks.

Add whiskey seasoning to the beef for flavor.

Introduce 2 cans of rotel, one in each pot, to deglaze the bottom.

Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes.

Add 24 ounces of frozen peas, divided between the pots, and stir.

Once the peas soften, add 3 cans of corn, one can per pot, and half the last can.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Add 58 ounces of fire roasted diced tomatoes, two cans in each pot, and stir to combine.

Pour in approximately 64 ounces of hot and spicy V8 juice, adjusting for pot size.

Do not drain the ground beef, only drain the corn before adding.

Add 3 pounds of pulled pork, breaking it up and dividing between the pots.

Stir in 1 cup of barbecue sauce for each pot, ensuring it's well mixed.

Let the stew cook for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld.
