Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. In a large heavy pot heat the oil over medium-high heat. Season the beef, lamb and chicken with Essence, salt and pepper and add in batches to the pot, searing on all sides. Add the quartered onions, whole garlic, red pepper, and bay leaves, and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer uncovered, skimming to remove any scum that forms on the surface, until the meat is tender and the chicken is falling from the bones, about 2 hours.
  2. Strain, reserving the broth. When the meats and chicken are cool enough to handle, remove the skin and bones and discard. Chop the meat.
  3. Return the clean pot to the heat and cook the bacon over medium-high heat until the fat is rendered and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon. To the fat in the pan, add the chopped onions, carrots and bell peppers, and cook stirring, until soft, 4 minutes. Add the chopped garlic, and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the potatoes, lima beans, Worcestershire and sugar, and enough reserved broth to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring often, until thick and the potatoes are tender, 30 minutes to 1 hour. Add the corn and cooked meat and chicken and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20 to 30 minutes. Add the bacon and parsley and stir.
  4. Remove from the heat and serve hot with Cheesy Garlic Grits Casserole and hot biscuits

  17. Cheesy Garlic Grits Casserole:
  18. 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  19. 3 3/4 cups water
  20. 1 teaspoon salt
  21. 1 cup old fashioned or quick cooking grits (not instant)
  22. 3/4 cup heavy cream
  23. 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
  24. 3 tablespoons mashed roasted garlic puree
  25. 2 large eggs, beaten
  26. 3/4 teaspoon paprika
  27. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  28. Grease a 2-quart souffle dish with 2 tablespoons of the butter and set aside.
  29. In a medium saucepan, bring the water and salt to a boil. Stirring, add the grits and return to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring, occasionally, until the grits are thick, smooth and creamy, 15 to 20 minutes. Add the cream and cook until well incorporated, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining ingredients. Pour into the prepared casserole and bake for 40 minutes.
  30. Remove from the oven and serve hot.
