    Sounds delicious. I will try this, but will use low sodium V8 to cut sodium. The tapioca gives a different twist. - 12/22/10

    I used low sodium V8 when I made this (don't like it to drink, tastes weird, but fine to cook with), and it was fine. The tapioca thickens the liquid and makes it really nice and rich-tasting. This actually works better in the oven than the crockpot, by the way.
