I have to say, this is one of my favorite things to eat, and I swear, the cool weather makes it taste even better. For me, there is nothing more comforting than a good stew. I have always loved the Brunswick stew at Country's Barbecue since it isn't quite as sweet as other versions that I have had. I think that I have finally tried enough recipes and done enough tweaking to achieve a recipe that is very similar. I even came up with a recipe that can be prepared in the crockpot...what busy woman doesn't love that? Keep warm and enjoy! Yields 6 servings.
