Brunswick Stew
Serve with barbecue or seafood (boiled or fried shrimp, oysters, crabs) from local waters. This is an all day project, but it’s worth it!
Ingredients to Start With
- 1 (3 lb.) chicken
- 1 lb. lean beef
- 1 lb. lean pork
- 3 med. onions, chopped
- Salt & pepper to taste
Step One
Place meat in large, heavy pot. Season with salt and pepper. Add onions and cover with water. Cook until meat falls from bones (several hours). Remove from heat and cool. Tear meat into shreds and return to stock.
Step Two
Add:

- 5 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1/2 bottles catsup
- 1 tbsp. Tabasco
- 2 bay leaves
- 1/2 bottle chili sauce
- 1/2 tsp. dry mustard
- 1/2 stick butter
Step Three
Add all ingredients to the stock and cook for one hour, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
