One-dish Meal for a Crowd

You are certain to be in the South when you find this tempting and famous stew, but there’s no reason why it can’t be made in other areas. If squirrels are scarce or your hunters have no time to go after them, chicken makes a good substitute. The Brunswick Stew goes by different names. Squirrel Stew is one, and in some Carolina communities, it is called Squirrel Muddle.

For a large crowd the stew is cooked outdoors over coals in a big iron kettle. A southern woman says that Brunswick Stew is the perfect way to serve a lot of people without a lot of fuss.
