Easy Brunswick Stew Recipe: This Hearty Southern Stew Recipe Has Two States Fighting Over It by 30Seconds Food
Virginia and Georgia have a long-time feud over which state is the home of Brunswick stew. In Brunswick County, Va., there's an annual "stew-off," and in Brunswick, Ga., the state displays a cast-iron pot that apparently cooked the first batch of Brunswick stew in 1898. So what's all the fuss about? What is Brunswick stew?
Brunswick stew is a Southern stew recipe made with a tomato and barbecue broth, beans, corn and meat. Back in the day, it was made with squirrel, rabbit or game meat. This easy Brunswick stew recipe is made with pork, but you could use chicken instead or a combination of both. Serve with crusty bread.
