This was great! I didn’t have V8 juice so I substituted diced canned tomatoes instead. This is a recipe I’ll be making again!

I cook most of my soup or stew recipes in a Pressure Cooker shortening the cooking & prep times!

I had some sweet potatoes to use up and stumbled upon this recipe. I wasn't sure if the flavors would blend well, but I was pleasantly surprised at how good the stew tasted. I will definitely make this again!
