Hopkins County Stew #2 image

I have one recipe for this wonderful stew that I make all the time. I love this stew and I love the history behind it. This comes from a cookbook put out by Canyon High School Band Parents from 1972. This is what it says... for more than one hundred years, Hopkins County Stew has been a favorite with people who like the outdoors as well as those who eat in the comfort of their dinning rooms. this is th ewya it was prepared when folks used to gather in the grove in front of our house more than 40 years ago to eat Hopkins County Stew. I wanted to add this version since it is a little different than the one I make.

This stew is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the cornbread dumplings, and they don't even realize they're eating vegetables.

This stew is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I always have a few carrots and celery sticks that need to be used up, and this stew is the perfect way to do it.
