Brunswick stew is a Southern dish that features a tomato base with beans, vegetables, and meat. Traditionally, Brunswick stews were made with squirrel or rabbit, but these days pork and chicken are commonly used. This recipe is a good use of leftover meat and vegetables, as well as ingredients you probably have in your pantry.

View Recipe: Green Curry Stew With Potatoes and Cauliflower

This under 30-minute meal packs a ton of flavor. Layer the vegetables in the pan rather than stirring them in so they steam to the right doneness. Add red pepper if you want an extra kick.

View Recipe: Beef & Guinness Stew

This hearty beef stew is made with lean boneless chuck that’s cooked with carrots, parsnips, and turnips and flavored with dark beer. Simmering it in a Dutch oven for about 2 hours makes the meat and vegetables fork-tender and delicious.
