Whether you eat it or not, you should always choose high-quality meats and vegetables for your Brunswick stew.

Because they will provide more nutrients, flavor, and texture to your dish.

You can also make your own barbecue sauce and ketchup to control the sugar and carb content.

You can store Brunswick stew in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 or 4 days, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.

You can enjoy it occasionally as a treat, or modify it with low-carb alternatives such as cauliflower, zucchini, and sugar-free sauces.
