Notes
*Try fire-roasted tomatoes instead of regular diced tomatoes for a more smoky flavor.
***Lima beans are traditionally used in this recipe, but if you’re not a fan of lima beans you can certainly swap it out for a different vegetable like frozen green beans.
***The BBQ sauce plays a big part in flavoring this stew...so be sure to use one you really love! I recommend using your favorite store-bought BBQ sauce, or, for homemade, you can make our homemade BBQ sauce.
