                    Here is another recipe from V8, I haven't tried this one yet, but I am going to try to adapt it for the slow-cooker. My Hubby works a lot of long and unpredictable hours, so the slow-cooker is my blessing in disguise. I will let you know how it works out - But for those that don't want to use the slow cooker - here is the recipe - Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                2 tablespoons vegetable oil  |  
                                                4 lbs bottom round steaks, roasts or 4 lbs chuck roast  |  
                                                2 cups v 8 juice (regular of low-sodium)  |  
                                                1/8 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 minced garlic clove  |  
                                                1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper  |  
                                                6 medium potatoes, cut into quarters (about 6 cups)  |  
                                                6 medium carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces (about 3 cups)  |  
                                                2 medium onions, cut into wedges  |  
                                                2 tablespoons all-purpose flour  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. Heat the oil in a 6-quart saupot over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook until it's well browned on both sides. Pour off any fat. 2. Add 1 3/4 cups vegetable juice, garlic powder and black pepper to the saucepot and heat to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 1 hour and 45 minutes. 3. Add the potatoes, carrots and onions. Cover and cook for 45 minutes or until the beef is fork-tender. 4. Remove the beef and vegetables to a platter. Stir the flour and remaining vegetable juice in a small bowl until the mixture is smooth, Stir the flour mixture into the saucepot. Increase the heat to medium-high. Cook and stir until the mixture boils and thickens. Serve with the beef and vegetables. 5. SERVING SUGGESTION: Serve with couscous tossed with pine nuts. For dessert serve with apple crisp.                              |
