"Folks moving to this part of the country (Georgia) often fall in love with Brunswick Stew, usually a side dish at barbecue restaurants. This version is delicious but simple to make. People feud over whether the stew should have potatoes and lima beans in it, but this is a purist stew (except for the sneaky addition of potato flakes)."

Georgia boy here. Used cream style white corn and whole kernel white. Celery. Mushrooms. And instead of tomato sauce I used manwich sauce. Beef ribs. Pulled pork . Ground chicken breasts. The best Ive made so far and second best tasting (momma does it best ) ; )

Just had Brunswick stew last night, this Yankee instantly a fan. I will try making it, I think I'll dial the salt & ketchup back a bit, but I'll be trying one of these recipes.

I love this recipe! I used it for the first Brunswick Stew that I had ever made and have been using it ever since. I have changed it a little but my family says it's the BEST they have ever eaten!!!
