The Brunswick Stew with Chicken and Pork Recipe is easy to make and is tomato-based, also known as “Brunswick stew”.
It is typically made with local beans, vegetables, and small game meat like squirrel or rabbit, though currently chicken is sometimes used instead.
You won’t be able to live without my mouthwatering Brunswick Stew after you’ve tried it. I usually make sure to save some of the meat when I slow roast or smoke a pork belly so I can create this flavorful stew.
This is one of our favorite recipes since it uses meat that has already been smoked and roasted, making it essentially a dump-and-go effort.
