I've done mine in a crockpot overnight. I actually have three large crockpots for it. I like to reduce it way down, it concentrates the flavors.
I've only made it with meat once and I just froze it in canning jars. That gave me the option to use any and all veggies that I wanted and make it nice and thick.
I always add some red wine, which is fine when canning, along with any dried spices that you want. A bit of ground fennel seed adds a really nice flavor, sort of making it taste like you added Italian sausage.
