Instructions: I put all the ingredients into my rice cooker and started it. When it clicked off I checked it and it was still more "chewy" then I like. The rice cooker (because it was so warm from cooking) wouldnt go back on so we transferred the stew to pot and put it on the stove. Continued to cook it for about another 5 - 8 minutes on med-high till it was how we preferred it.

Depending on how much liquid you end up with you can make this into more of a stew or soup. We prefer it thick and more like a stew.

NOTES : We ate some of it plain and also put spaghetti sauce over a second bowl of it. Both ways tasted wonderful.
