Anyone by chance have one that they wouldn't mind sharing??? I made some about a week ago but wasn't real happy with the recipe so I was wondering if anyone out there has one that they really like. Thanks so much!!!! Trying to get my cool weather recipes together......
I have one, but I'll have to figure out which Southern Living cookbook it's in.

I have one also that is really easy but I'll have to wait until I get home to get it. It is a true southern Georgia recipe from when I lived there in the mid-90's. If you had BBQ, and we did often, Brunswick Stew was always a side item and this recipe is pretty tastey.
I found it. The recipe that I use tells you to roast a 4 1/2 # pork roast and boil a 4 1/2# hen, but I usually cook the pork in my crock pot one day, pull it, and use a storebought rotisserie chicken instead of boiling the hen. Sometimes I will add butter beans to it, but my husband isn't crazy about them. This is from Southern Living's Ultimate cookbook.
1 (4 1/2#) pork roast
1 (4 1/2) hen
3 (16 oz) cans whole tomatoes
1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce
3 large onions, chopped
2 green peppers, chopped
3/4 c. white vinegar
1/4 c. sugar
1/4 c all purpose flour
1 c water
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
2 TBSP hot sauce
1 (16 oz.) pkg frozen shoepeg corn
Place pork roast, fat side up, on a rack of a roasting pan. Bake at 325 for 2 hours. Cool. Trim and discard fat. Cut pork into 2 inch pieces.
Meanwhile, place hen in a Dutch oven. Cover with water. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 2 hours or until tender. Remove han from broth and cool. Bone hen, and cut into 2 inch pieces.
Coarsely grind meat in food processor. Combine ground meat, tomatoes, and next 5 ingredients in a large Dutch oven.
Combine flour and water, stirring until smooth; stir into meat mixture. Stir in salt and next 3 ingredients. Cook over medium heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add water, if needed, to reach desired consistency. Stir in corn, and cook 10 more minutes.
This is a very easy version but it is really good.
2 cans chicken
2 cans pork BBQ (Castleberry)
2 cans corn (niblet and cream)
1 can tomatoes
1 small bottle catsup (hot can be used)
1 small can butter beans
1 can english peas
1 can chicken broth
1 cup tomato juice
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons worchester sauce
Mix and cook about 2 to 3 hours slow.
I put it in a crock pot. I usually like to cook more from scratch but this is really good.
I hope you find a recipe that you like. 
Wow, thanks so much Michelle and tracycakes. They both sound wonderful. Michelle your recipe sounds great when I have a lot of time to spend in the kitchen and tracycakes your's sounds great when time is a factor. Just put it all in the crock pot and let it go. I really do appreciate that both of you took the time to share these recipes. I really am going to try each one of them. I'm not sure which one to try first but I'm gonna do both. Thanks soooooo much!!!
Hey Butternut-are you from the south? I'm GA girl myself.
I was going to tell you something that I've done in the past. I love roast pork and pulled pork, and if I have leftovers I will freeze it, and when I have a few pounds I'll thaw it and make the stew with that and a rotisserie chicken. If you want butter beans in it, add a can of petite butter beans, and mash another can of butter beans and that will thicken the liquid.
I live in PA now and occasionally I'll have a party with all my Southern foods, and my neighbors love it!
I'm looking for a good recipe for southern cornbread dressing, if you happen to have one that you know is good.
I thought traditional brunswick stew had squirrel and other wild game meat in it
Maybe back in the old days they did. My grandmother told me that when she was little, they would put the leftover parts of a hog they butchered in the stew, like the head and feet. YUM-O.
Hog head and feet, Ewwwww. I did run across several recipes that called for squirrel meat. I think the recipe must have started out calling for that. I think I'll pass on that one 
Poor wittle squirrels.. All they do is run around chasing each other, flipping around in the air and entertaining us. Of course, I planted a pecan tree about 24 years ago. It's huge now and each year full of pecans. Unfortunately, we've never been able to eat one friggin pecan. The squirrels get up in there and get every single one before they are ripe and fall to the ground. Yeah, ok, squirrel beef stew actually doesn't sound that bad anymore 
squirrle is actually kind of tasty, raccoon, and oppossum not so much. Rabbit would be another alternative
Down in GA where I grew up there were armadillos everywhere. Maybe you could throw one of those in there, too.
never tried armadillo, are they any good? Gator is good, belive it or not its alot like lobster
I don't know if people actually eat armadillo, and I wouldn't want to know what it tastes like.
