Easy Brunswick Stew
Description
This recipe starts by sautéing diced onion and garlic in olive oil and butter, building a savory base. Cooked poultry and pulled pork add a rich meat component, combining with frozen or fresh lima (or butter) beans and sweet corn kernels for texture and sweetness. The stew's liquid ingredients include chicken broth, canned diced tomatoes, ketchup, and barbecue sauce, which create a tangy-sweet and smoky sauce. Hot sauce can be added to taste for heat.
The stew is brought to a boil and then gently simmered uncovered for 35 to 40 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly. The final texture balances tender meat, soft beans, and a thickened sauce, suitable for serving as a filling meal on its own or with bread.
The recipe allows for flexibility with the type of barbecue sauce to suit personal preferences, and it can be made with thawed frozen meats or leftovers. Adding cooked potatoes can thicken the stew further if desired.
