Made with tasty smoked pork, vegetables, and a flavorful barbecue broth, this classic southern dish is a comfort meal that warms the soul on a crisp autumn day.
Place a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat and melt the butter. Once melted, add the garlic and onions, and sauté until softened (about 5 minutes).
Add the remainder of the ingredients, except for the salt and pepper, and stir.
Once the stew begins to boil, reduce heat to a simmer (medium-low heat) and allow it to cook for 90 minutes. Stir occasionally. Add salt and pepper at the end and taste it. Add more if desired.
