BRUNSWICK STEW

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the diced onions and the garlic and saute until the onions are translucent, about 15 minutes. Stir in the cayenne pepper, black pepper, salt and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes then add 1/2 cup of vinegar sauce and 1/2 cup of bbq sauce. Stir in the pulled pork, chicken, turkey, and brisket. Add the crushed tomatoes and all of the vegetables. Stir in the chicken stock and let simmer for a couple hours over medium heat. Transfer the stew to a serving bowl and serve with warm buttermilk cornbread, if desired.

Steps:

• Bring water to boil in a saucepan; add potatoes, and boil until tender ( about 15 minutes).
• Pour the potatoes and the water used to boil them into a large pot. Stir in onion, peas, corn, tomatoes, ground turkey, and bacon. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
• Stir in the salt, pepper, garlic salt, and sugar. If stew appears too watery, stir together flour and some of the stew liquid in a small cup, and then stir mixture into the stew. Continue cooking for 1 hour.

Steps:

• Put beef, chicken, onions and butterbeans (if using fresh) into a huge stew pot. Cover and cook over medium-low to medium heat until meat is done (~1.5-2 hours; can cook meat one day in advance). Pull chicken and beef off the bone and shred or chop as desired. Discard skin and bones. Return meat to the pot. Add potatoes and butterbean (if using frozen) and cook until done. Add tomatoes and cook until the mixture is a stew-like consistency (DO NOT add tomatoes until potatoes and bean are tender). Add the corn and cook until tender. Add butterbeans (if using pre-cooked dried beans). Add enough ketchup to get a slightly sweet taste to the stew and add salt and pepper to taste. When properly seasoned, stir in a stick of butter.
