I'm from SW Georgia and that recipe is pretty close. My grand pappy made it in a cast iron pot in a fire outside. As far as meat ...you used what you had. Thanks for posting.
I know with Brunswick Stew, there is an infinite number of ways to make it. My normal recipe that I threw together years ago uses very little crushed tomatoes, a different style of BBQ sauce, potatoes, no limas, pork and chicken only, no brisket. They couldn't be further apart in taste although they still have a lot in common! I may make my standard version in the new year and do a "Stew Off"!! LOL
