- 1 medium diced onion
- 2 cups diced potatoes
- 2 15-ounce cans canned diced tomatoes (undrained)

- 1 15-ounce can canned creamed corn
- 1 15-ounce can canned whole kernel corn (drained)

- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika

Instructions
In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat (if desired, not listed in ingredients). Cook the diced onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the diced potatoes, canned diced tomatoes with their juice, tomato sauce, creamed corn, and whole kernel corn to the pot. Stir to combine.
Add the shredded chicken, pulled pork, and sliced smoked sausage to the pot. Stir everything together.
Pour in the chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, ketchup, and barbecue sauce. Stir to combine and ensure all ingredients are well-integrated.
Season with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Add hot sauce if desired, adjusting to your personal taste.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot with a lid and let it simmer slowly for 1 to 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Check for seasoning and adjust as needed before serving. The stew should be thick, flavorful, and hearty.
Serve hot with crackers, cornbread, or as is. Enjoy your Alabama Camp Stew!
