Once you try my delicious Brunswick Stew you will be hooked and wonder how you made it this far without it. When I slow cook or smoke a pork butt I always make sure I save some of the meat so I can make this flavor packed stew. This is one of our favorites recipes and with using already smoked and roasted meat it is pretty much a dump and go recipe.
