A delicious ‘ole time’ stew

About this time, every year, I receive a couple of request for Brunswick Stew. It is a delicious ‘ole time’ stew that freezes well (can also be canned). The good thing about it is that you can substitute you favorite meat or what you have on hand. Beef and venison are good substitute as is rabbit. Good luck and take care…I’ll be seeing you around…Agnes
