Not as good as I had hoped it would be. I love olives, but found this to be overpowering.

I thought this was excellent. It had a very unique flavor. My husband loved it as well. We served it over pasta instead of on kaiser rolls. It was so easy. I followed the directions. I was concerned about not browning the meat, but it came out tender and tasty.

Fantastic! I wasn't too sure how I was going to like this recipe, but I was pleasantly surprised. Full of flavor, but not at all overwhelming. I did use one can of stewed tomatoes and one can of diced tomatoes, as that's what I had on hand. Also, I was in a hurry so I just dumped the olives in without chopping them. I served it on toasted kaiser rolls with mozzarella cheese on top. Yum! Thanks :)

I did add an onion and a couple tablespoons of red wine, this would have been really good with a different roast, chuck roast just has too many fatty pieces for my taste. That being said the broth was absolutly fantastic, and it could not have been easier to make. I recomend doing it on high for 6 hours not low although that could just be my machine.

Easy for a day when you're going to be out all day. I found that rinsing the olives takes away much of the saltiness. It's a good fall-back recipe when time is short for prep and you need something when you get home.

This is the perfect dish to serve the night before Thanksgiving or the night before Christmas Eve. It's delicious, easy, quick and frees up the kitchen for Holiday cooking!

I cannot tell a lie, I really like the flavor of beef with olives and tomatoes, but I found this to be FAR too salty. I probably could have guessed how it would taste, but I was still a little surprised at how hard it was to get past the saltiness, despite really liking the flavor otherwise.
