Brunswick Stew from The Blue Willow Inn Bible of Southern Cooking
My husband loved Sonny’s and really loved their Brunswick Stew (not all Sonny’s have it). I never made it at home, but when I saw this quick and easy recipe I decided to make it. I can’t imagine any restaurant making it with just canned ingredients, but I like quick and easy.
Brunswick Stew
2 (15-ounce) cans stewed tomatoes
2 (15-ounce) cans creamed corn
2 (13-ounce) cans chicken
2 (10-ounce) cans BBQ pork
1 (14-ounce) bottle ketchup
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. apple cider vinegar
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
Combine all ingredients in slow cooker and cook on low for two to three hour
Serve with Jiffy cornbread or Ritz crackers
Thoughts
Since this was made with canned ingredients my expectations weren’t that high. Plus, it uses a 14 oz. bottle of ketchup. I like ketchup, but…
I was really surprised at how good it was. Even my son Anthony said it was pretty good, and he’s never been a fan of any kind of stew.
It couldn’t have been any easier. Open some cans and measure in some salt, pepper, garlic powder, and apple cider vinegar. Heat. Voila.
I was going to use my slow cooker but decided at the last minute to make it and it would have taken too long, so I just did it on the stove, and we loved how it turned out. I also used saltine crackers because that’s what I had on hand.
I plan on making this again. Quick, easy, and yummy!
I just wish my husband was still here so he could try it 🙁

This sounds scrumptious and satisfying. Thank you so much for sharing, and warm greetings from Montreal, Canada.
You’re welcome Linda! It was very good.
Sounds interesting, glad you liked it. Never seen canned chicken or BBQ pork. I like ketchup but that does seem like a lot.
We’ve had canned chicken and BBQ pork for years in stores here. It’s funny how different places are so different.
Don’t really like the idea of canned meat – which is silly since I am ok with canned fish. Have a great week. Cheers from Carole’s Chatter
I think canned meat is pretty good Carole, but some people don’t like it.
I’ve made that before – it’s not too bad.
Glad you’ve made it before and liked it.
Like Bill, I’m curious about BBQ pork in a can (though I’ve seen canned chicken). I’d try this on a cold winter day.
I’ve used the canned chicken before to make sandwiches but had never tried the bbq pork. It’s pretty good.
I’m glad this turned out good for you. I think I would have been hesitant because of the canned meats.
I was hesitant, but decided to give it a try and I’m glad I did.
We went to Sonny’s quite a bit and they have the Brunswick stew here, in the Tallahassee area. I’m glad you liked it, it’s always nice when a new recipe turns out.
The restaurant that we went to had unlimited Brunswick Stew. My husband love that!
My expectations wouldn’t have been high either but now you’ve got me curious! I’ve started making lunch for my husband to take to work and he really likes soup. I like how easy this is and that it’s a winner. I’m saving this recipe for future use. Thanks for sharing!
If you end up making it, I hope you like it too!
I like easy recipes where you can just open cans and dump. Some days we need recipes like that. Glad this was a hit. I need to look for canned barbequed pork. Not sure we have that here. This cookbook looks like it has some good, easy recipes! Thanks for reviewing it!
It does have quite a few other recipes I want to try, and you’re welcome.
I can’t believe I have never had Brunswick Stew.
You should try it. You might like it.
The stew sounds delicious.
It was good, I’m glad I decided to make it.
This dish, and this cookbook, sound lovely, Vicki! I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for taking the time to post the recipe.
Thanks Susan!
The list of ingredients doesn’t inspire me (I don’t like creamed corn and I’ve never seen BBQ pork in a can!) but I’m intrigued by how the combination ended up working out! I’m on the lookout for slow cooker recipes.
I don’t like creamed corn at all either and never eat it, but decided to use it in this recipe since it’s a stew. It turned out really good.
I’ll try it!!
I hope you like it!
I will have to try this! I love stews. My granddaughter is not a fan so I will probably have to eat it all by myself.
My son isn’t a fan of soup or stew but he always tries what I make and usually likes it.
Sounds perfect for a rainy weekend. I’m visiting from Souper Sunday
Or a chilly day, like it is here today.
I’ve read about Brunswik Stew but I’ve never tried it.
Thanks for sharing with Souper Sundays this week. 😉
I’d never tried it before the restaurant started having it. It’s good!
Yummy, nice food for weekend. Thank you for sharing.
You’re welcome Klara!
Really unusual recipe. I would have been skeptical, too. But, sometimes surprises are great! Stopped by from Souper Sunday.
It was so easy, quick, and good I plan on making it again.
