Nothing sums up the simplicity of easy slow cooker recipes like the concept of ‘set and forget’. The beauty of the slow cooker is that you fill it with your ingredients and let the cooker do the cooking. From spicy curries to unctuous stews and soups, there’s nothing it, and you, can’t do! Whether you’re slow cooking beef, pork, or chicken, or even something vegetarian and delicious, let the developed flavour of a slow cooked dish engulf your palette. ALDI’s top 5 collection of best recipes to cook in a slow cooker will bring melt in your mouth flavour to your dinner table.

1. Slow Cooker Ginger Honey Beef Mince Bowls

There’s nothing like a beef slow cooker recipe, where the meat is so tender from hours in the cooker. Combine 100% Australian Jindurra beef with warming ginger and sweet honey. Serve it over fluffy jasmine rice and you’ve got a new weeknight staple. Not only is it incredibly easy to make, it’s incredibly delicious to eat!

2. Slow Cooker Herb and Garlic Chicken Thighs

Chicken cooked on the bone, low and slow, is there anything better? When chicken is a family favourite, a chicken slow cooker recipe will also become a family favourite.

3. Slow Cooker Brown Rice and Mushroom Risotto-Style Bake

Who says only meat belongs in the slow cooker? Not us! Vegetarian slow cooker recipes are here and they’re delicious! Risotto gets a slow cooker ‘slow-up’ with mushrooms, brown rice and parmesan.

Pasta in the slow cooker? You must be joking? We are not! It works, trust us! All your classic ingredients go in: beef, carrots, celery, onion and garlic.
