Instant Pot® Brunswick Stew Reviews

• I didnt add the pulled pork because I didnt want to go to the trouble (and couldnt find it ready-made), but otherwise, I made this as directed. It was my first Instant Pot recipe, and worked well for that, since it was so simple. We found that it didnt have enough flavor for us, but after I added in more seasonings (mostly a Cajun blend), it was good It didnt taste quite like the Brunswick stew that I know, but it was still pretty tasty. Ill play around with the seasonings more next time, but this recipe has great potential

• I followed the directions, but I added one more potato. It was delicious and will definitely make it again, using my new Instant Pot.

• This was the very first dish I made with my Instant Pot. My husband and I were absolutely amazed at how delicious it was. This recipe buried every Brunswick Stew dishes we ever had. Highly recommend.

• The only changes I made was to use the low sodium canned tomatoes and chicken broth. Also, I dont have an instant pot so I simmered this on the stove for a couple of hours to let the flavors meld. I have tried other Brunswick stew recipes but none have ever hit the mark before this one. It tastes just like the Brunswick stew I grew up with in Georgia, my whole family loved it We actually gorged ourselves on this tonight it was so, so good. I will be making this regularly, thank you for the recipe

• I used fresh zucchini instead of frozen okra, bacon instead of pulled pork, and only one potato

• I followed the recipe exactly; I made it on the stove, though. I let it simmer for about 2 hours so that it was thicker than the picture. We like our stews thick. This is a great recipe; its like the Brunswick stew in Eastern NC. Ive saved it and will make again.

• Amazing Just amazing

• This was my first effort with my new Instant Pot... recipe was easy and delicious This makes a lot of food...so some is frozen for future dinners. Taste is amazing...

• This had an odd sweet/tangy taste that didnt sit well with my family.
