If you want a shortcut 5 ingredient cacciatore, click here. If you want something that is a little more authentic, this Hearty Slow Cooker Cacciatore is the ticket. I loved this recipe but I might be slightly biased since anything with kalamata olives in it is pretty much a sure thing for me. But the family I served this to also thought it was delicious, so take their word for it, not mine!
