Cozy Lamb Stew

A slow cooker lamb stew that is incredibly easy to prepare, with minimal fuss, and delivers a depth of flavor that will make your kitchen smell like a gourmet restaurant.

Ingredients

Scale

Main ingredients

  • 2 lbs lamb stew meat, cubed (Look for lamb that’s already cut into bite-sized pieces for convenience.)
  • 4 potatoes, diced (Yukon Gold or red potatoes work wonderfully here – they hold their shape and get so creamy.)
  • 3 carrots, sliced (These add a touch of sweetness and beautiful color.)
  • 1 onion, chopped (A humble onion is the foundation of so much flavor!)
  • 3 cups beef broth (Feel free to use low-sodium if you prefer.)
  • 2 tsp rosemary (Fresh or dried, rosemary brings a wonderful earthy aroma that pairs perfectly with lamb.)
  • salt (To taste)
  • pepper (To taste)

Instructions

  1. In your slow cooker insert, toss in your cubed lamb stew meat, diced potatoes, sliced carrots, and chopped onion. Pour in the beef broth and sprinkle in the rosemary.
  2. Now, add a good pinch (or two!) of salt and pepper. Don’t be shy – this is where you start building those delicious layers of flavor.
  3. Cover your slow cooker with the lid. Set it to cook on LOW for 8-10 hours, or if you’re in a bit of a hurry, you can set it to HIGH for 4-5 hours. The longer it cooks on low, the more tender your lamb will be!

Notes

Searing the lamb before adding it to the slow cooker is optional but recommended for added depth of flavor. You can also prep the vegetables the night before to save time in the morning.
