Low Carb Spicy Kentucky Burgoo Recipe: Two Meals in One!

Low Carb Spicy Kentucky Burgoo

This is one of my favorite new stews and although it’s tomato based, one cup is plenty for most of us on a low carb diet. It should be very rich and hearty when it’s done.

Scale

Ingredients

For the roast:

  • 4 lbs pot roast —- 2lbs for dinner, and 2lbs for the burgoo
  • 2 cups beef broth (chicken broth actually works well too – slightly lighter flavor)
  • 1/4 tsp celery salt
  • 1/4 tsp thyme
  • 1 tsp basil
  • 2 tsp dried dill weed
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp garlic salt
  • 1 tbsp oregano
  • 1 tbsp powdered buttermilk
  • 1 tbsp and 2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp and 2 tsp dried parsley

The rest of the burgoo ingredients:

  • 1 lb large breast of chicken (boiled and shredded)
  • 1 can of Rotel Original (diced tomatoes and chilis)
  • 1 28oz can diced tomatoes
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 7 oz Polish Kielbasa
  • 1 cup chicken bone broth or stock
  • .5tsp red pepper flakes (depending on how spicy you like it)
  • 2 tsp hot sauce (like Franks) or more to your liking
  • 1/2 medium onion (chopped)
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Add your pot roast and beef broth to the crock pot and set to low.
  2. Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl and then rub down the pot roast with them.
  3. Cook on low for about 4-8 hours, or until cooked through.
  4. Meanwhile, boil one large breast of chicken until cooked through (about 40 minutes), and then shred it when it’s done. Set aside in the refrigerator until later.
  5. Once the pot roast is cooked through, at this point, you can decide if you’d like to eat up to 2lbs of the pot roast for dinner. The remaining 2lbs is more than enough to satisfy the stew.
  6. With the second half, cut into cubes for the stew, and return back into the crockpot.
  7. If there are any fat chunks rolling around, get rid of those (you don’t want them in your stew!)
  8. Add in the rest of the ingredients and cook on low for 12 to 24 hours.
  9. Flavor your Low Carb Spicy Kentucky Burgoo to taste with additional hot sauce, salt, and pepper to your own liking – personally, I love more hot sauce!

Notes

Burgoo takes a very long time to cook, so I’ve made this recipe into a two-for. Eat half of the pot roast (once it’s done cooking) on your first night. Use the second half for the Low Carb Spicy Kentucky Burgoo recipe.
