I found this recipe in the Pillsbury Slow Cooker Cookbook I borrowed from the library for 5 years (I did eventually return it). I discovered you can cook nearly any slow cooker recipe on the stove much quicker (lucky for my family). This has a robust flavour and I would class it as a comfort food alternative to the usual beef stew. It was thumbs up with all my crew.
