How to Make Amelia S Slow Cooker Brunswick Stew
- Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown 2 lbs of pork ribs on all sides, about 5 minutes per side.
- Transfer the browned ribs to a 6-quart slow cooker.
- Add 1 large onion, chopped, to the skillet. Cook until softened and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer to the slow cooker.
- Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the slow cooker. Stir in 28 oz can crushed tomatoes, 1 cup ketchup, 1/2 cup steak sauce, 1/4 cup cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon hot sauce (or to taste), the juice of 1 lemon, 2 cups chicken bouillon, and 1 teaspoon black pepper.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 6 hours, or on low for 12 hours.
- Remove the ribs from the slow cooker. Discard the bones and shred the meat.
- Return the shredded ribs to the slow cooker.
- Stir in 2 cups frozen corn and 1 (15-ounce) can lima beans, drained. Cover and continue cooking on high for 2 hours, or until the chicken and ribs are very tender and the flavors have melded.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
