Festivals in North Carolina wouldn't be the same without this popular stew. A thick hearty blend of meats, vegetables and seasonings in a savory tomato-based broth, it's a special main dish for a crowd.—Judi Brinegar, Liberty, North Carolina

  • 4 large onions, halved and thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup butter, cubed

  • 8 cups water
  • 2 cans (28 ounces each) crushed tomatoes
  • 1-3/4 cups ketchup
  • 1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
  • 1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed tomato soup, undiluted
  • 2 medium jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
  • 3 teaspoons salt

I make this fron an old recipe that's been in the family . There are some differences thou . I use pork in mine by cooking a Boston butt and shredding it or a boneless pork loin . I also cube the potatoes instead of mashing . I usually have about 24 quarts when I get finished . Me extended family has gotten this recipe from me and everyone loves it , even the grandkids and great grand kids .
