The BEST Brunswick Stew recipe EVER! Super easy to make and tastes great! Chicken, smoked sausage, pulled pork, onion, corn, tomatoes, and lima beans simmered in chicken broth, tomato sauce, vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar, and hot sauce. Can make on the stovetop or in the crockpot. Makes a ton, so it is great for a crowd. Serve with some cornbread or biscuits! We ate this three days in a row - SO good! #soup #stew #crockpot #slowcooker #gameday
In a Dutch oven, cook smoked sausage until starting to brown. Add chicken broth and scrape down the pot.
Add remaining ingredients, bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes to an hour.
Notes:
I used rotisserie chicken for the cooked chicken in this Brunswick Stew. It makes prep super quick!
For the pulled pork, I used Costco pulled pork. You can use any cooked pulled pork you like. With or without BBQ sauce - either is fine.
If you are making this stew after the holidays, feel free to swap the chicken for some leftover turkey. This is a delicious way to use up some of that leftover turkey!
Feel free to add some diced potatoes to the stew.
You can make this in the crockpot instead of the stovetop. Brown the sausage and dump everything in the crockpot. Cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours. You can also cook it on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours.
The leftovers make a great freezer meal. Cook the stew and let it cool. Pour the soup into some gallon freezer ziplock bags and freeze. When you are ready to serve the soup, thaw and reheat in the microwave or on the stove.
This stew is gluten-free. Make sure to use a gluten-free smoked sausage such as Hillshire Farms.
