It is winter here in Australia – and it is bloody cold!
As I sit here typing in my ugg boots and marshmallow socks, shivering in my velour tracksuit pants, I feel for the areas of the world where it snows.
But do you know what the BEST thing about winter? THE FOOD!
Here are the 10 absolute best slowcooker recipes to cook this winter! Click on the photo to view the recipe!
1. Slow Cooker Apricot Chicken

2. Slow Cooker Corned Beef
The slowcooker makes the very best corned beef ever. I like to cook mine in a little ginger ale with a tablespoon of brown sugar to give it a lovely flavour that infuses the whole way through. It, of course, MUST be served with a white sauce!

3. Slow Cooker Lamb Shanks with Rosemary Gravy
Lamb shanks used to be so cheap, but not so much these days. I buy them when they are on sale as I think the shank is the most delectable part of the lamb. Put this on in the morning and allow all the flavours to infuse all day – everyone’s mouth will be watering!
4. Slowcooker Beef and Coke Casserole
Yep, you read that right – Coke or any cola, actually – we aren’t fussy. The sugar in the Coke helps break down the beef making it very moist and sticky.

Yes, a beef roast is done excellently in the slow cooker. Usually, when they are done in the oven, beef roasts become very stringy and tough – but not in the slow cooker!
