Slow Cooker Irish Lamb Stew

Are you feeling Irish yet with all of our yummy St. Patrick’s Day recipes? Well here is my contribution for a really yummy Irish lamb stew made in the, what else, crock-pot!

Lamb can be hard to come by in some areas (I have a shelf in my freezer full because we purchase a whole lamb slaughtered from a friend who’s daughter is in 4H) so if you cannot find lamb or it’s just not your thing, feel free to substitute beef in this recipe. I promise it will come out just as good!
