We do it a little bit different in Georgia but one of my absolute favorites.
I started freezing leftovers smoked pork and chicken so I always have some on hand for a batch of Brunswick stew.

How is is different? There is an argument where it started at, some say Brunswick County, VA, other say the City of Brunswick, GA.

It is a southern staple for sure, very hard to get at any restaurants because it is so time consuming to make.

Here is the recipe that use, some people also use pork, I have at it with squirrel and rabbit also.

1 gallon makes (10) 12oz bowls. We normally plan on 8 people per gallon.

BRUNSWICK STEW 13 GALLON AMOUNT


12 Ibs. boneless thigh chicken meat
9 lbs. stew beef
20 lbs. potatoes (whole), peeled
10 lbs. onions, diced
2 gal. crushed tomatoes
2 gal. lima beans
2 gal. cream-style corn
1 gal. whole kernel corn (white)
4 gal. water
1 Ibs. margarine
3-oz. salt
2-oz. black pepper
1/8 c. sugar
Texas Pete to taste


1. In the pot bring the water to a boil and add all the meat and cook/ stir for about 2 hours (or until the meat is separating).

2. Add the potatoes and onions and continue stirring until they are breaking apart (about another 2 hours).

3. Add tomatoes and stir until the consistency is smooth, add seasoning.

4. Add lima beans and then stir for about another 1 hour.

5. Add corn (creamed and whole) and stir until even consistency.

6. Add butter and then turn off heat to pot and stir until it is cooled enough to not stick.

7. Total cooking time is about 6 hours depending on the size of the batch and weather conditions (allow extra time when it is very cold).
