I am a big fan of slow cooker recipes as there is nothing better than getting your dinner sorted early in the day and letting it cook all day.

FAQs

I recommend cooking on low heat for 8 hours to ensure you bring out the flavours of the dish. But if you don’t have 8 hours to make this meal, you can set your slow cooker to high and cook for 4 hours.

Once the cacciatore has cooled, transfer to air tight container, You can store in your refrigerator for up to 3 days or in your freezer for up to 3 months.
When ready to eat, thaw it out and bring to room temperature. Transfer to a skillet / pan and reheat over low-medium heat until warmed through.

If you are wanting low carb, then serve with zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice.
