I haven’t had a good Brunswick stew since I left Atlanta many years ago. I’d love to see your entire recipe!!

Brunswick Stew Recipe
It is pretty simple. We obtain about 2-3 # chicken or turkey by boiling the carcass and then shredding the meat. You could use other meats if available. Set aside until later. Save broth from boiling the meat.
Saute a couple of diced onions in a large pot/pan or dutch oven until translucent.
Chop up a couple of stalks of celery and add to pan.
Slice four medium carrots and add to pan.
Add 5 cups of broth reserved from boiling meat. You might need to add more later.
Add four 16 oz cans of diced tomatoes including liquid.
Cube 4 medium potatoes and add to stew,
Add two bags of frozen corn. White corn is best, but you can use mixed corn or yellow.
Add two bags of frozen baby Lima beans.
Add shredded meat.
Season to taste using salt, pepper, poultry seasoning, etc. Lawry's Seasoned Salt works well.
Add additional reserved broth, chicken broth or water as needed to achieve desired consistency.
Simmer while covered until vegetables have softened.
If desired, pour the stew into a couple of half sized serving pans and smoke uncovered for a couple of hours on the Traeger. Stir the stew a couple of times during the smoke to insure everything is uniform.
As listed, the Brunswick stew is gluten free. I have a gluten intolerant friend who loves it. If gluten free is not a requirement, I like to add a Tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce to add more flavor. Worcestershire contains wheat, so avoid if if anyone needs gluten free.
I hope someone tries it. If you do, let me know how it turned out.
