My husband and I enjoyed this stew. It does make a lot, so you do need a large crockpot, as others have mentioned. I followed the recipe, as directed, and next time, I would probably use less vinegar than suggested. The two tbsp. was a bit too much for our taste, but overall we liked the stew and would make it again, with that change. (I used the whole bottle of chili sauce and might try reducing that next time as well--I'm not sure if it added to the strong vinegar flavor or not.)

I can't believe this recipe only had three stars before I rated it. It is really good. If you are worried that the ingredients won't fit in your crockpot, then cut the recipe in half. It is worth trying. The only change I made was I didn't put in the whole bottle of chili sauce and I put about half of the vinegar - just personal taste preference. This is a keeper that I'll make again. Thanks!!

Have made this dish several times and always a pleaser! I add lima beans and canned diced potatoes for more veggies! I also use the rost. chix from the deli to speed things up! I don't use the butter at all and use only 3/4 of the chili sauce! Very yummy! Thanks-

The first time I fixed this, I ran into the "my crockpot is too small for this recipe" thing... however, I liked the results. The next time, I purchased a larger crockpot and was able to add some other things that I wished to include, such as: baby lima beans, shoepeg corn, and celery. It's not a traditional brunswick stew by my definition, but easy and delicious. My brother enjoyed it and the kids scarf it up and it's great to freeze leftovers for later.

Sorry, this just didn't work for us. I knew I was in trouble when I couldn't get all the ingredients into my crockpot. The only taste that came though was the chili sauce and it was to strong. I managed to salvage the dish by placing the stew in a large stockpot, adding another can of chicken broth and approximately 2 cups of water along with 1/2 teaspoon red pepper. I did cook it overnight on low and the chicken fell apart.
