Recipe in old Field and Stream or Outdoor Living for Brunswick Stew?

Question

It had rabbit or squirrel....I don't know, my grandfather would like the recipe if anyone has it

Answer 1

I know that in the old days Brunswick stew used whatever meat was available such as rabbit and squirrel. I'm from the Piedmont region of North Carolina and we still eat Brunswick stew in the Fall at barbeque time when everyone makes pork barbeque. Everyone has their own variation on Brunswick stew. The recipe my family uses does not use lima beans although I have seen many recipes that do. Here it is.....

1) 2 types of stewed meat, 1lb each (We use a 1lb stewed chicken and it's broth and 1lb stewed beef and it's broth.)

2) 3 Tablespoons butter

3) 1/2 cup of rice

4) 2, 16oz cans of diced tomatoes

5) 1, 16oz can of creamed corn

6) salt, pepper and Louisiana hot sauce to taste

Shred stewed meats and combine with the other ingredients in a large pot. Cook slowly 2 hours stirring often as rice sticks. Serve with saltine crackers, cole slaw and iced tea.
