I used chopped onions and omitted the olives. I liked the sun dried tomatoes in it.

Unexpectedly delicious! The Kalamata olives were a fun addition (you could use plain ripe olives if you wish). You can also toss the meat with flour first and lightly brown before adding to the crockpot if you prefer that texture (I often do that).
