Ingredients

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 yellow onion chopped
4 cloves of garlic chopped
14.5 oz can of fire-roasted diced tomatoes undrained
1 cup mixed vegetables
1 cup frozen lima beans
2 cups of chicken stock
2 cups of smoked pulled pork or chicken
1 1/2 cups vinegar bbq sauce
1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and saute until translucent, about 3-5 minutes
Add remaining ingredients to the pot and stir. Allow the mixture to come to a simmer.
Reduce Heat and Simmer on medium-low for 30-40 minutes.
Add salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

Your stew will taste similar to the bbq sauce you choose to use. I like to use a homemade vinegar based bbq sauce but your favorite store brand will work too.
You can easily add in different vegetables and beans to suit your tastes and to save you a shopping trip!
Stir the stew occasionally as it simmers so that it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.
