I've eaten Brunswick stew about 8,000 times in my life, but for some reason, had never even thought about taking a stab at making some. Had a bunch of people over Saturday so I gave it a shot. It turned out great, but I quickly found out that everybody has their own version that makes it "Real Brunswick Stew". I had Googlized a few recipes and basically combined ingredients to come up with my own version. One recipe started out with a can of Sloppy Joe sauce and canned Castleberry BBQ pork. For the meat, I decided to go by a local BBQ joint and get a pound of chopped pork and a pound of chopped chicken. (I was later told it wasn't authentic unless you cooked your own chicken and pork shoulder, butt etc.) Anywho:
1 Pound each of chopped pork/chicken
2 cans of yellow corn
2 cans of white corn
1 can of white beans
2 potatoes diced
1 can of diced tomatoes
1 can Chicken Broth
1 bottle of Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce
1 Cup of Ketchup
Half cup of Worcestershire sauce
Onion Powder (Not a fan of the onion so I used powder)
Put it in the Crotch Pot for 8 hours on low. Serve. Funny how everyone was woofing it down like they'd been starved for a week, all the while talking about how they make it. But, I guess that's one of those dishes you really can't go wrong with. Just put a bunch of great flavors together and let em' cook all day.

I love it. Whether its Virginia style, north Carolina or Georgia - I like em all.

Brunswick Stew...
The ingredients:
1/2 smoked boston butt (pulled) (around 4-5 lbs raw weight)
1 smoked chicken (split & shredded)
2 cans of corn (undrained)
2 cans of Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup of hot sauce
5 cups of water
1/4 cup of favorite BBQ Sauce
1/4 cup white vinegar
1 medium yellow onion (diced)
3 medium to large potatoes (diced & skinned)
Salt & Pepper to taste
*** Add all ingredients to pot and cook on high until it starts to broil. Lower heat down to medium and cook til the taters are tender. Stirring occasionally. When done, the stew should be thick.
I use Crystal Hot sauce and my own BBQ sauce.
Here's the basic sauce and basic rub I paid good money for and got ripped off. So, I give it away now.

I think there's as many Brunswick stew recipes as there are bbq joints and grandmothers in the south. My mom used to make a version that was more like vegetable soup with some pork thrown in. Actually not my favorite, too thin. The one that had me hooked was Barbecue House on College in Auburn. They had above average bbq with A+++ stew that you could make even better by making it Que Stew (regular Brunswick with extra bbq thrown on top).
When I was at Auburn we used to make a version for tailgating that we called "Canned Stew". It was based on canned Castleberry Pork and Chicken, Hunt's Chili Sauce, Creamed Corn, and I don't remember what else. Throw it in a big pot on the Coleman stove and consume with lots of beer. Good times for the late season cold weather games.

Very true on your first statement. I always thought it was naturally from Brunswick GA. And it is to a certain extent. But I know a lot of Virginians claim they actually came up with the first recipe. It sounds like your grandma used of their style recipes which is described as more thin and tomato-y. I guess I prefer the GA style which I think is what most people have had and Carolina style which is similar as well.

I'll be the contrarian (surprise surprise):
I don't get the appeal of this shit. You just dump a bunch of cans of bleh into a pot and slow cook it until it's even more bleh.
Bleh.

It's not necessarily cans. That's just the cheap and quick way. Besides, isn't that the concept behind any soup?

You beat me to it. I've never liked Brunswick Stew. It's not that it's bad. It's just not good or something I'd willfully order or make.

I like Jambalaya in a big pot like that.

is there any chance the teflon from that pot came off while consuming said Jambalaya?

I don't use teflon coated pots. What I meant was a pot that size. The word "like" can have many different understandings, and in this case like=size. Kind of like the size of my penis in proportion to the quality and quantity of orgasms producted is directly proportional to my desire to wear out that pussy.

Nice...I say, nice boy. But about as sharp as a sack of wet mice.

I figured out that big pharma thinks they're one UP on us with their ED meds. My thinking is brainpower can produce the same results. I'm giving away my secrets in a new book titled "Think and Grow Dick". Just pay the small S&H fee and I send you copy my new book free of charge. Disclaimer has yet to be determine at this time.

Just because he hasn't filled his life watching movies doesn't necessarily make him a dull boy.

If only it were movie quotes that went over your head. Sarcasm, hyperbole, puns, wit, dry humor. They all kick your ass. And now fractions apparently.

I have dry humor, though it can be cruel at times, it's still dry. Puns are easy. Wit is valued only by the person who uses it. Hyperbole - I have witnessed the exaggerations here. Sarcasm is fine, but I much prefer cynicism. Fractions? Be real. The percentage of fed monies is almost 50% of said contributions. That tells me the state needs to tax corporations more than individuals. Hell, our sales tax here is 10%, even on food purchases. Food prices are in keeping with the national average or higher. While in the Chicagoland area, I would pay $6 per pound for Filet Mignon and no sales tax. Why the hell do think Bo still lives in Burr Ridge?
We spend approximately 50% of our income on taxes, and for what? For what those losers in the US congress produce? Pfft. Forget about local and state. They're are answerable to the feds for everything. Just look at Prichard and Birmingham. Pfft.
Grumpy cat is not impressed.

Still dry - Kind of like the twats of the few crazy women who choose to lie down with you.

:rolleyes: :) I have no problems with women, and never have. That cute girl I had in the avatar, well, we are friends, good friends. There are ladies I don't even date, but I do remember their b-days and send them respectable gifts. Even on V-Day, I have bought some ladies gifts because I love them. Women are not to be treated as property or objects. If I do lay with a woman I tend to not get up for quite a long time, well, except to get some nourishment (chocolate cover strawberries and fresh fruit juice is wonderful between sexcapades). There is more to relationships than just sex you know? Oh, and I do wear out dat pussy.

Bottomfeeder, you are a madman. When you stole that cow, and your friend tried to make it with the cow. I want to party with you, cowboy. If the two of us together, forget it.
