At this time of the year all we are craving is hearty and robust meals, but sometimes they can be a chore to make mid-week. Lucky for you we have a new favourite recipe (an easy braised beef in red wine) that can be whipped up in our favourite kitchen side-kick (a slow cooker). Simply chop the veggies and add them to your slow cooker, along with a beef chuck roast, our homemade gravy and a bay leaf. Cover and set your slow cooker timer for 6 hours. And, voila! A healthy, hearty and robust mid-week dinner the whole family will love. The best part? Leftovers.
