BRUNSWICK STEW FROM CASWELL COUNTY, NC
Courtesy of the Bethel Church of Christ Several churches do an excellent job with brunswick stew. If you are a brunswick stew lover like I am, then you probably won't be disappointed with this church recipe. It has a very nice red color that comes from the tomato products. Bethel Church has used it every year for more than 25 years. A quart sells for about $4 in 1997 dollars. A quart is two adult servings. Bethel Church's brunswick stew is the best I've had, and I've tried a lot of them. It is very similar to the brunswick stew served at Bullock's Bar-B-Cue.

Steps:
- Use tight-fitting cookware to hold in the flavor as the ingredients are boiled separately. Cook everything in separate pots and put them together at the end.
- Start out by slowly boiling the meats until they are tender. Remove the bones and skins from the chickens. Re-use the broths to boil potatoes and butter beans. Then cook the onions and corn in reserved broth. Do not add any of the tomato products during the initial cooking process.
- When all of the ingredients are cooked, add them together in one big pot. Add all of the remaining ingredients and mix them well. Bring the pot to a boil and continue stirring with a wooden spoon or a boat oar to keep it from sticking to the pot and burning.
- An appetizing presentation is made to the general public with someone stirring a large cauldron mounted to a tripod over an open fire. Stir the stew for approximately one hour over the fire as it continues to get thicker with the water boiling off of it. This step is very important, the stew must be boiled down until it is quite thick.
- Serve stew with a mayonnaise based slaw and saltine crackers. It is best during the colder months of the year. Brunswick stew freezes well.
- Enjoy!

NORTH GEORGIA BRUNSWICK STEW
Brunswick stew is my favorite southern food and a traditional side at pig-pickins (BBQs). When i was growing up in Rome, GA I would eat this at picknics and festivals. This recipe was a photocopy of a photocopy from some southern cooking magazine that came from our very southern cleaning lady. I always cook a big pot and freeze most of it for quick dinners. It takes all day to cook, but can be made in sections ahead of time.

BRUNSWICK STEW
Brunswick stew dates back to the 1860s, when it was served as a complete meal. We now use it as an accompaniment to barbecues. It is delicious picnic fare when served with country ribs, coleslaw or potato salad. When I make this stew, I double the recipe and freeze small portions so we can enjoy it at several meals. -Alyce Ray, Forest Park, Georgia

My family loves this on a cool crisp fall day. I adjust the heat level by adjusting the hot sauce used. As submitted, it's safe for the little taste buds. I serve this with honey cornbread. Enjoy!

This is another version of a Brunswick Stew that uses pantry staples. I just got it from a Berks County Recipe web site. I haven't tried it yet, but it will be dinner within the week. I will dump everything in a crockpot to make it even easier. I don't know if I will use the ground beef, but I will include in the recipe.

NORTH CAROLINA BRUNSWICK STEW
In NC, the fall air is often filled with the aroma of pork being barbecued over hot coals. This is one of the most popular fund raisers in the state. Cold Slaw is usually served with the barbecue along with hush puppies and baked beans. One of the largest such events in the state is in Charlotte, NC. In addition to the aforementioned menu items, this group serves Brunswick Stew with the meal. It is not unusual for this event to be attended by 7-10 thousand hungry patrons. There are hundreds of recipes for this delicious stew, with each cook insisting that hers is the original and best of all. The following recipe is the one that is used for the Mallard Creek barbecue, and this cook thinks that IT is the BEST! The taste is well worth the time for preparation. The stew is not "beautiful" but one forgets that quickly when it is tasted!

TRADITIONAL BRUNSWICK STEW
Folks moving to this part of the country (Georgia) often fall in love with Brunswick Stew, usually a side dish at barbecue restaurants. This version is delicious but simple to make. People feud over whether the stew should have potatoes and lima beans in it, but this is a purist stew (except for the sneaky addition of potato flakes).
