Slow Cooker Puttanesca with Beef

Slow Cooker Puttanesca with Beef is an Italian-style tomato sauce loaded with savory ingredients like kalamata olives, capers, and tender shredded beef. This rich sauce simmers all day in the slow cooker and is made using pantry staples. Serve it over pasta, rice, or polenta.

There are few things better than a classic meat and tomato sauce simmering all day. The entire house smells like an Italian grandma’s kitchen and all I have to do at 6pm is cook some pasta and make a quick salad.
