Notes
I haven't had great luck making this in the slow cooker or the pressure cooker--the recipe seems to rely on a little evaporation and when I've made it using these methods, the stew ends up a little soupy/watery. If you'd like to try it either of these ways, I would recommend reducing the water and possibly the V-8. This has not been tested, so just know you'll be in uncharted territory!
