Made this for dinner the other night and it was very good, the flavor was awesome. The only problem I had with recipe was the sauce was very thin , almost like a thin stew. Maybe I used too much spaghetti sauce. I used 2 16 oz. jars of homemade sauce. I know the recipe called for a 28 oz. jar, but I didn't think 4 oz. would make that much difference. Maybe It did.

Some people are allergic to wine because of its sulfite content, what would you use as a substitute?

Hi! There is no wine in this recipe. But if you need a substitute in general, the Test Kitchen suggests using chicken or beef broth. Hope this helps!

I would swap out some of the broth and use red wine. You do know that the alcohol cooks out within 15 minutes. I know some of you mentioned in the past about not using alcohol but it does cook out. It won't tempt an alcoholic!!

I made this recipe a few days ago. I was surprised at how much it turned out to be! The mushrooms added a lot of water to the recipe. Also, I exchanged the beef broth for chicken broth. It was delicious. Plenty left over for freezing!

Made this recipe yesterday and it was (Oh..so..good). The consistency of the sauces was creamy like a stew but all the flavor of a good Italian dish. I added a red pepper with the green pepper along with some extra Italian seasonings. Daughter gave me an A+ for this one. Great dish.

Super great! Four teenagers gave it rave reviews! I took out the mushrooms (sadly) and added basil. I wondered about the beef broth with a chicken recipe, but it soooo worked! Thanks!

I copy and paste to Word. Print recipe on one side of paper, flip page over and reinsert in your printer. There are a couple of extra 'tips' when you paste a comment. Just hilite those and press 'delete'. This way you have your recipe and comments on one sheet of paper. Hope this helps.

This is very similar to my mother's recipe except we never used green pepper and we add a glass of red wine to the sauce as it's cooking. Love it!

I tried some new spices for my cacciatore: cumin, marjoram, ginger, basil & garlic, with chicken breast cubes lightly browned beforehand in some oil with the garlic, and one can of tomato paste with 2 cups of water, and let it cook down slowly in a warm oven. I did not need to add bell peppers, as I have an allergy to them, too. It still had that peppery taste. Unique and delicious!

Cumin seems to give food a muddy taste does not belong with Italian recipes ,ginger just does not go with a dish like this either better choices would be oregano and/or basil
