<p style="text-align: left;">The weather in Georgia turned cold this week. So it seemed to be a good time to make Brunswick Stew, one of our favorite cold-weather meals. I go with an "easy" version.  The old-fashioned style of Brunswick stew used turkey and beef and chicken left-over from the holidays, and took lots of time and effort to de-bone and chop all the meat.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">My mother's recipe for "Instant Brunswick Stew" called for 10 cans of meat , tomatoes and corn.  Unfortunately, I can no longer find all those ingredients in the grocery stores near me.  So here is my adaptation of Mother's recipe.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Easy Brunswick Stew</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">4 pounds of fully cooked pork barbeque</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">3 13-ounce cans chicken breast</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">2 28-ounce cans diced tomatoes</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">1 10-ounce can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilis</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">2 15-ounce cans creamed corn</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">I open those packages and cans and dump it all into my largest crockpot. Usually I break the chicken and the pork into smaller pieces. Tonight my sweet husband cut the meat up for me.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">I stir it up.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">I leave it in the crockpot to get good and hot.  Although, tonight, I heated it up in the microwave to speed things along.  Gregg and I were both hungry! We served it with hot corn muffins.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">You can leave the Rotel out, if you want your Brunswick stew to be mild.  We like it with the extra kick that the can of Rotel gives.</p>
