First time I've ever made Brunswick stew and although it took a while to make, it was easy. I omitted the ground beef and added lima beans. My bbq sauce was a combo hickory and honey. While it was good, I will probably make sure the bbq sauce isn't a sweet flavor. This is excellent and I will definitely make again. (I made it for a crock pot luncheon at a senior citizen apartment complex and it all got gone!)

My husband LOVES Brunswick stew, so I made this with some left over bbq pork and chicken we had. It really is a "meaty", rib-sticking stew. I could only eat a little before I felt like I swallowed a bowling ball. My husband loved it, so 5 Stars!

Out of this world. I did make a couple of changes. I used left over pork roast and left over chicken that I chopped. I also used stewed tomatoes and only 2 cans of the corn. I gave everything awhirl or two in the food processor, before cooking.

None of my family members liked it. I really disliked the sweet taste of the soup. Second of all, besides having a bad taste, it was very bland ingredients wise. I definitely wouldn't make this again as a soup - however, I think it has potential as a dip. If I decreased the liquid, added more salt, and changed a few things here and there, I think this would be a decent dip.

This was a great meal for a cold winter night, or nights...This recipe makes alot and plenty to freeze for later. Very kids friendly as well. My 4 boys loved it. I didn't use ground pork because I thought the ground beef was plenty, instead I diced some leftover Canadian Bacon and tossed in toward the end along with the cream style corn. I also added in Cannelli beans because my family likes beans. I think butter beans would of been great in this as well. I served this stew with crusty french baguette and a salad.

A very basic recipe. Once I mixed the ingredients together I was quickly disappointed and had to improvise to get a more authentic stew. I only used shredded chicken - and no other type of meat. First the sauce: In a sauce pan, over low heat, melt 1/4 cup of butter then add: ketchup 1/4 cup French's Yellow Mustard 1/4 cup white vinegar Blend until smooth, then add: 1/2 tablespoon chopped garlic 1 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper oz. Worcestershire Sauce dashes of tabasco a few drops of lemon juice Blend until smooth, then add: 1/4 cup dark brown sugar Stir constantly, increase heat to simmer - will add later For the pot mix - I added potatoes, about 4-6 cups chicken broth, 1 can of regular corn (in addition to 1 can of the creamed corn) and any other vegetables I had on hand (peas and carrots) I mixed everything together, and simmered for 5 hours before serving with french bread.

For my personal tastes, this was okay but the barbecue sauce was too overpowering in the stew. If I make it again, I will either omit it altogether or will definitely not use as much as the original recipe calls for.

I've never made Brunswick Stew and this came out delicious! My boy friend loved :) Substitutions I made: instead of ground pork I used precooked pulled pork. (1-1/2 containers), only 1 can creamed corn & 2 cans whole kernel corn, diced tomatoes, add almost half the bottle of hot sauce since we love spicey food, 3 lbs chicken breasts instead of whole chicken. Luckily you can play around with the recipe some and still turns out great. I also made Mexican Cornbread with this & that was a great combo!

After first taste I was going to rate this recipe 3/3.5 stars, but then it was even better the next day(so I bumped it up to 4 stars). I did add 1C Lima beans and 1 can regular corn.

Made this for camp and everybody (including myself) loved it. Five of us finished a huge crock pot's worth. I put 3 jumbo chicken breasts in with 1/2 a pork roast and 1/2 a beef roast. Removed and shredded the chicken first, threw some sauce on it and covered with foil. Then I did the same with the pork. Last came the beef. Right before before serving I added a bag of corn and 3/4 bag of baby lima beans. Also added chunks of red potatoes. Really satisfying, something a little out of the ordinary as well!

I have made this recipe several times with excellent results. I have always made it for a crowd -- It doubles or triples well. I have substituted leftover bbq (pulled or chopped pork) for the ground pork, and I have used ground venison instead of ground beef, both of which turn out great. After Step 1, you can use a slow cooker instead of a stock pot.

This recipe is wonderful! My husband LOVES it, and looks forward to it every time I make it! A couple things we tried different that also worked well was to grill some sirloin steak and cut it up instead of hamburger, and we had some left over roasted chicken quarters that we used as well. Delicious!!!

Very good recipe! I made some changes: instead of ground pork and BBQ sauce - I used a container of already flavored BBQ pulled pork. I also used a rotisserie chicken, minus the skin instead of a regular chicken. One large can of crushed tomatoes instead of the 3 cans of whole tomatoes as I don't care for their texture in soups. The last change I made was 2 cans of creamed corn and 1 can of regular corn. I also had to add some water (we are a large family) and just thickened it at the end with a some cornstarch diluted in cold water. My family loved it!

Wow! This is an amazing stew! I used 4 cans diced tomatoes, 1 can tomato sauce, shredded chicken and pork (no beef) and replaced the hot sauce with a small can of jalapeno salsa and the creamed corn with regular. It's 9 degrees out and when my husband gets home I have a feeling he's going to declare this one a definite keeper! By the way Sweet Baby Ray's Hickory Brown Sugar BBQ sauce is perfect for this as another reviewer had mentioned.

Wow, I took a chance and won!! Sooo good. A very forgiving recipe at the same time. Add whatever meat and veggies you like! I added a can of drained chunk pineapples and some potatoes. Next time I will use sliced smoked sausage or kielbasa. Use Sweet Baby Ray's barbecue sauce. It is far superior to any!!! I also used my homemade spiced ketchup which added extra flavor. My husband is originally from MS and he went nuts over it!!! So I didn't get a husband......he now wants to keep me forever :)
