Brunswick Stew

*****UPDATE*****

I made my second batch, but this time used the stove top and it was way better!  I brought it to a boi,l used water instead of chicken broth (forgot to defrost mine...ooops!), reduced heat to medium-low, and simmered for about 2 hours.  The results were much better than the crock pot meal.  The stew was thicker and the flavor depth was much better.  I will definitely make it this way from now on.  Yum!

This is my first recipe I am trying of my freezer meals.  If you missed my post on 28 meals in 1 day head on over and check out the post HERE.  If you don't want to freeze this then skip the first two steps and go from there.

I must say this smells fantastic cooking.  The bad thing is I was actually home and my stomach kept grumbling.  It smells delicious!  And I must say the taste was phenomenal too!  This recipe does make a bunch, but that works out perfect for lunches and leftover nights :)  I love double duty meals like this.
