Brunswick Stew -- Lynn's Recipes

[@kellypodlisny]

I just made this, and it's amazing!! Thank you so much for sharing! I grew up in GA and have struggled to find a good Brunswick stew that didn't have lima beans or potatoes. This just takes me right back to eating BBQ with my grandparents!

[@lynnsrecipes]

So happy you like the recipe. Thanks so much for letting me know.

[@TooStinkinFine]

Glad to find this recipe. As close as it gets to what I grew up eating in Alabama. Thank you for sharing! ❤

[@blessingseleven]

Your Brunswick Stew is delicious and just perfect for a cold day. Thank you for sharing a wonderful recipe.

[@bethharding4920]

I'm from GA and this looks just like what my grandfather's stew looked like... except he used a food grinder (which I still have) before we had food processors. Can't wait to try it.

[@lynnsrecipes]

I hope you enjoy it!

[@jacobhoward9305]

My girlfriend has been talking about how much she misses Brunswick stew for a year now (she moved from Georgia to Arkansas)based on how she described the look and based on the comments I think I found the recipe I need and can’t wait to surprise her with it thank you 😁

[@Sherriedc]

Finally a recipe that reminds me of the Brunswick Stew I ate in Atlanta….can’t wait to make this. Thank you.

[@lynnsrecipes]

So happy you like the recipe! It is a family favorite.

[@wareaglejf]

I'm from Alabama and recently moved to Colorado. Sadly, the majority of folks out here haven't heard of brunswick stew and I miss it like crazy. Thank you for the recipe! It's my second time making it tonight and it's delicious.

[@elizabethshaw734]

wareaglejf make a badge of the soup and introduce the people in Colorado to Brunswick stew! I live in Maine and I make Brunswick stew but I make it just looks chicken and I've never ground my meat like that.

[@wtpence4731]

Looks Great ! I always add a small can of lima beans as well . One of the Best soups/stews for cold winter days ! Thanks !

[@lynnsrecipes]

Thank you! Lima Beans make a great addition!

[@mmllgg2471]

This recipe sounds great.Can't wait to try it.Franks hot sauce is the bomb.Thanks.for posting.Mike.

[@alicesmith7913]

I make my Brunswick stew in the winter time usually. It's great on a very cold day! I freeze left over bbq pork, chicken...and veggies from our garden, during the summer months. When winter comes around, time to clean the freezer...for stews such as Brunswick! Usually, the only thing on the list of ingredients, that I have to run out and buy, is potatoes and lima beans. It's a good way to use up leftovers , like your bbq pork, chicken...and veggies. I make this every year. We love it. can't hardly wait, for winter time to get here! I'm going to try your recipe! I've heard of adding bbq sauce to the recipe, but I never have.

[@lynnsrecipes]

+alice smith You have some great ideas. I will have to do that, as well. I hope you enjoy the recipe. We love it and I freeze the leftovers, too! It is so easy to pull it out of the freezer for a quick meal. Thanks so much for watching. Have a great afternoon. ~Lynn

[@Ohwhatajenn]

Thank you for this recipe! I kept searching for one that looked like the Brunswick stew that I'm used to and remember as a kid growing up and I believe I finally found it 🙌🏻 Cannot wait to try this recipe this week!

[@JohnSmith-hj4dn]

Thank you Lynn. I have been looking for a good Brunswick stew recipe. I think I have found it.

[@991Sanders]

I’m so excited to make this!!! As many other commenters, I grew up about 40 miles N of Atlanta. Of course, growing up in GA, meant I grew up on 😋Brunswick Stew. I’ve been in KY for nearly 18 years & no one here has ever heard of it, they all eat burgew, which I think is 100% different. The recipe we used calls for ketchup, but I’m going to use the crushed tomatoes. Thank you so much for the video, it’s so matter Of fact and not a lot of blah, blah, blah, straight to the point!

[@lynnsrecipes]

So happy you like the recipe. I hope you enjoy it. It is a family favorite of ours.

[@tjdoc143]

Making for the first time with some leftover BBQ pork shoulder and chicken I made this weekend. Thanks for the recipe!

Just followed your recipe to the letter but used some leftover pulled pork and chicken and it is awesome!

[@lynnsrecipes]

So happy you liked it! Thanks for letting me know.

[@GenPhilips]

I have made this several times and it's awesome, I love it. I smoke the meat in my smoker and wow. I've even dehydrated it and taken it on camping trips and it hydrates just as good. 1 part stew to 1 part water

[@lynnsrecipes]

+Gen Philips So happy you like the recipe. I really appreciate you letting me know. Have a great weekend. ~Lynn

Looks awesome! my family adds lima beans and diced potatoes to ours for just a little extra veggies.

[@lynnsrecipes]

Those sound like great additions!

It looks similar to the Brunswick Stew I had as a kid in Georgia. Looks Great! I cant wait to try this recipe outside in my smoker. I bet it taste magical! Have a great Fall 2013!

That looks really good. I have a pressure cooker but don't really know how to use it. Maybe this would be a good test run for me.

Thank you, Amy! This is one of our favorites, especially in the colder weather. So convenient to freeze in individual portions for a quick lunch. Got the shamrock towels at the Dollar Store. Sometimes you can find fun things there. Have a great weekend. Love, Lynn

Thanks Lynn. I have plenty of pulled pork, so I'm going to use your recipe to turn it into Brunswick Stew. I have been eating B. Stew for years and this will be my first time making it. Bon Appetit!

[@lynnsrecipes]

I grew up in Georgia and lived there most of my life.

[@GenX69]

Looks so delicious.. Thanks for sharing

[@AnLi007]

Thanks for the recipe, Lynn. This looks yummy and fairly easy to make. What's funny is that I live in Brunswick (Germany) but I have never heard of this or seen it anywhere. But I guess that is why I should really give it a try and cook it for myself. :) Have a great day, AnLi

Your Brunswick Stew looks wonderful Lynn! I love that you added hot sauce. I also love how much this makes. It's great for freezing! Wishing you and yours a wonderful weekend! Love ya, Amy P.S. Your shamrock towels on the oven handle are adorable! :-)

Thanks for the post!

[@lynnsrecipes]

You're welcome!

[@markdixon3943]

Great recipe Lynn! It reminds me of the best Georgia style stew they once served at the old Melear's BBQ in Union City GA. We also tried it with a little hot sauce as suggested and a bit of Liquid Smoke. Any advice on trying to prepare a smaller quantity for a smaller family of say 4 family? Don't mind some good leftovers, but have limited freezer space.

[@lynnsrecipes]

Glad you like the recipe. The only thing I could suggest would be to cut everything by half. You would have a bit of corn and tomatoes leftover maybe, but you could probably use that in another dish.

[@markdixon3943]

@@lynnsrecipes Thanks!

[@lynnsrecipes]

@@markdixon3943 - You're welcome!

[@Meikaj23]

@Mark Dixon I used to live in Union City Ga long ago! This style stew is hard to find...have you had any luck finding any on that side of town or anywhere in Atlanta?

[@Severa25]

I found this recipe because I was looking for something close to Melear’s Brunswick stew. It looks identical! And there are even folks on here talking about Melear’s! I will have to give this recipe a shot! Also, for those of you looking for a restaurant that serves Brunswick stew “close” to what Melear’s had, try Sprayberry’s BBQ in Newnan. It’s a very old establishment and the recipe is very similar. Can’t wait to try this recipe!!!

[@jrob8764]

Looks as good as what my mom use to make only thing she did different was add butter beans to the mix.

[@lynnsrecipes]

Thank you! I have had it with butter beans as well. That would make a great addition.

[@markt857]

Funny, I have heard of Brunswick Stew but never had it or bothered to even know what is in it. Sounds great.

[@lynnsrecipes]

Thank you! We love it here in the South. It goes great with barbeque. Thanks for watching. Have a wonderful week. Lynn

[@lynnsrecipes]

Thank you! I appreciate you watching. Have a great evening, Kim.

[@NarutoUzumakiofficial]

i have a recipe for this, i haven't made this for years though. this one is a little different from the way i made it. but it looks good.

[@Doug6714]

Looks delicious. My wife prefers beef, so what type meat would you recommend? Thanks

[@lynnsrecipes]

Maybe a chuck roast would be good.

[@lynnsrecipes]

I hope you enjoy it.

[@maryemclea6436]

will try

[@lynnsrecipes]

You're welcome! I think that would make it taste awesome! I would love to know how it turns out. Thanks for watching.

[@jacobhoward9305]

What BBQ sauce do you use

[@lynnsrecipes]

You're welcome! I don't actually know where the name came from. It is very popular here in the South and is served with barbeque a lot. It is super easy to make and makes a lot so it will feed a crowd or you can freeze it for future meals. Thanks for watching. Have a great weekend.

[@marklug]

Same here. I use ketchup mustard (spicy) and brown sugar to make the bbq sauce and a little more vinegar with white and apple cider vinegar, and its essentially the same. Being a GA boy, I hate seeing all these new BBQ restaurants TRYING to serve Brunswick stew and calling it authentic. They are putting all kinds of things in. Brunswick stew was traditionally made in the fall and winter when they had hog killings when no other veggies except maybe fall corn was available,

[@Cohort227]

Where are you from? Good recipe btw

[@lynnsrecipes]

Cohort227 Thank you! I am glad that you like the recipe. I am from Georgia. Have a wonderful Sunday. ~Lynn

[@Cohort227]

That's what I thought. I'm from Georgia to, Rutledge Ga.

[@lynnsrecipes]

;-)

[@lynnsrecipes]

Yes, if you like beef better then it would be fine. It will taste a little different, but will be just as good.

[@observerlink4124]

Looks great! But, shouldn't there be potatoes too?

[@lynnsrecipes]

Thank you! I don't add potatoes, but if you want to, you can. Thanks for watching.

[@timmitchell4736]

How long do you cook the pork in the chicken for?

[@lynnsrecipes]

I cook the chicken until it is done and can be easily shredded and also the pork. If you have a pressure cooker, you can use those to cook them - just cook for the time stated in your directions. I use the food processor to shred the chicken and pork,

[@markdixon3943]

From GA to VA, I've been lucky enough to have Brunswick Stew throughout the south and beyond, also a lot of things "called" brunswick stew, but your dish/recipe looks like the closest thing I've seen to some of the best stew I ever had at the long past Melear's BBQ in Union City GA. The biggest difference is that they used smoked chicken and pork. Have you ever tried adding a small amount of Liquid Smoke to your recipe or instead using BBQ/smoked meats?

[@lynnsrecipes]

I haven't, but that sounds great. I am glad you like the recipe. It is a family favorite.

[@markdixon3943]

@@lynnsrecipes I'll let you know how adding probably a teaspoon of Smoke goes. Many thanks for your recipe(s)!

Wednesday will be May fourth time cooking this.i did use Boston butt instead.

[@lynnsrecipes]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@mgtowp.l.7756]

Can you please tell me would a steamer work as well as a pressure cooker? Could I use my big steamer to cook the pork? Thank you..

[@lynnsrecipes]

Yes. I have covered it with water and seasonings, such as salt, pepper and garlic powder many times before I had a pressure cooker and cooked it until it was tender. You could also roast it in the oven until tender and that would work, as well.

[@mgtowp.l.7756]

Good Morning Lynn, Thank you very much for your reply..I look forward to making this.It is a very easy recipe to make.It needs to be eaten with corn bead..

[@lynnsrecipes]

Yes, cornbread would be delicious with this!

[@TheJaydgrimes]

Lynn can you use liquid smoke in this recipe

[@lynnsrecipes]

Jayd Grimes Yes, if you want that smokey flavor just pour a little in while it is cooking.

[@lynnsrecipes]

Brunswick Stew!

[@flipgreen6132]

lynnsrecipes

[@rheaadams1437]

You can put any barbecue sauce flavor? thanks

[@lynnsrecipes]

Yes! Just use what you like.

[@glossonro]

Can you can the stew. I always can about 6 qt of chili this time of the year. If I can can think 90 minutes would be the right amount of time?

[@lynnsrecipes]

I would think you would have no problems canning this. I haven't ever done it, but I don't see why it couldn't be done. I would just follow the directions that you use to do your chili and it should be o.k. or whatever it says in your canning instructions.

[@lynnsrecipes]

I hope you enjoy it! Super easy to make and makes so much you can freeze it for later. I consistently get a thumbs down on every video I make - I think it is the same person, because it doesn't matter what I make, they don't like it. Guess they don't know if they click on the video, it counts as a view, so only helping me. I have no idea who it could be, but don't spend all that much time worrying about it - kind of amusing, really.

[@xXGalaxic_Demon_NightcoreXx]

how much does this recipe make?

[@lynnsrecipes]

It fills my 8 quart pot almost to the top.

[@justasoutherngirl644]

Could you use beef instead of pork?

[@markdixon3943]

Have you ever tried using leftover smoked turkey instead of chicken? What might you change if you did? Happy Thanksgiving!

[@lynnsrecipes]

I haven't, but I would not probably change anything else. I think the flavors of the turkey and the spices from smoking it will be delicious.

[@markdixon3943]

@@lynnsrecipes Agreed. Will let you know how it goes. Thanks Ms Lynn!

[@lynnsrecipes]

@@markdixon3943 - Please do - I would love to know.

[@Stuneill]

Hi Lynn: Your Brunswick Stew recipe calls for 4 chicken breast. Is that four whole chicken breast (8 halves) or four halves which would be two chicken breast. Understand? Thanks.

[@lynnsrecipes]

Stuart Neill It is four halves - two whole chicken breasts. My packages had 2 boneless/skinless chicken breast halves in each package.

[@chrischambless]

Your stew looks pretty close to the one my granddad used to make. But he use 3 types of meat and sent it all through a hand crank meat grinder (along with the veggies) after boiling it. I have the same food processor as you and had planned to use it. Who has a meat grinder these days?

[@lynnsrecipes]

Chris Chambless I hope you enjoy it! My mother-in-law gave me one years and ago and I had no idea what I would ever use it for. Little did I know, that I should have hung on to it, but I did give it away. Wish I hadn't done that. The food processor makes it very easy to process the chicken and pork after cooking, so I would probably still use it anyway. Thanks so much for watching. I hope you have a great Sunday. ~Lynn

[@Racking40]

+Chris Chambless Yep, all meat should be ground.

Strange as it may seem, It doesn't look any different in the bowl as it did in the pot.

That's a good thing - right?

[@ozzietadziu]

I didn't mean to imply that there was anything wrong with the presentation, only that when most others "plate up" a dish, they try to make it more appealing, like using a fancy dish, garnish, bread side, etc. This recipe looks more like a hearty soup (which I would thoroughly enjoy) than a stew.
