About
Southern Brunswick Stew is a classic of Southern cooking, a rich and slightly spicy stew perfect for keeping you warm when the weather’s cold and stormy. With a mellow, sweet, and savory broth, tender potatoes, and juicy chicken and pork, Southern Brunswick Stew is hearty to the core and tantalizingly tasty. This stew takes about an hour to make, so it does require a little patience, but the way the flavors come together makes it so worth it. The weather outside can be as frightful as it wants when you have this stew to comfort you!
