bbq sauce

🥗Healthier: homemade tomato sauce

💰Cheaper: ketchup

Homemade sauce can be healthier without added sugars, while ketchup is budget-friendly.

Chop your onion, garlic, and potatoes to get everything ready. In a large Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes, then stir in the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Add the fire roasted tomatoes (with juices), chicken broth, potatoes, BBQ sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and Kingsford seasoning. Stir well to combine and bring to a gentle boil.

Reduce heat to low and let the mixture simmer uncovered for 20–25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Stir in the pulled smoked chicken, pulled pork, corn, and lima beans. Continue simmering for another 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the stew is hearty and thickened. Add more broth if it gets too thick.

Add salt, pepper, and hot sauce (if using) to taste. Adjust BBQ sauce for sweetness/smoke or more Worcestershire for depth if desired. Ladle hot into bowls and enjoy!
