Rosemary Lamb Chili (Crock Pot)
"I don't eat red meat as a rule, but lamb is one thing I make an exception for once or twice a year. This mild chili could also be made on the stove top, but I like to make all my chili and most of my soups in a crock pot and let it simmer. Do it whatever way you prefer."

Very tasty! The broth is delicious after simmering all day in the crock pot. Added green bell peppers. Good served over couscous. -
Very simple and very tastey. Took this to a party and it was very well received. Thanks! -
This made some of the best chili I've ever had! It was simple to make, prep time was almost nil, and who doesn't like a crockpot simmering all afternoon?! The lamb gave it such a unique flavour and I found that I only had to add a few ingredients to make it "perfect" for my taste. Well done! -
This is a good introduction to lamb if you haven't tried much of it before. I used the crockpot method, without browning the lamb, onion and garlic first. Suprisingly thick and tasty and if you want the "chilli" taste" then add that heat spice to this dish.

My husband and I married straight out of college in July of 1992. I work as the Assistant Manager at a wine shop which allows me to drink on the job! (OK, not that much, but it's still a fun job...) Besides helping customers choose wine they will like (and also help with food and wine pairings for their menus), I also get to help with the catering end of the business, so I get to spend a fair amount of time in the kitchen making fun appetizers and beautiful food displays. I also work part-time at the fromagerie next door. So yeah - that means I eat on the job, too. :^D
We live on several peaceful wooded acres on a cute little river in rural NE Wisconsin, with a cranky old-lady Burmese and whatever stray outdoor cats that have decided to adopt us on any given day. The cute puppy in the picture is Jake, our Elhew-bred English Pointer that we brought home on Easter weekend 2007. I've also got 2 painted turtles named Dennis and Fuzz, and a bunch of fish (koi and goldfish, along with the guppies & swordtails in the turtle tank).
I USUALLY eat and cook healthy, but I rarely pass up dessert, either. I do not eat red meat, and try to limit other animal products, too. I love to bake, although I seem to collect a lot of scone and biscotti recipes which I NEVER get around to making. I bake and eat A LOT of cookies and muffins... I almost always reduce the sugar by 1/4 and use whole wheat pastry flour for at least part of the flour. Those two changes do so much to make recipes healthier without compromising taste. I try to reduce fat whenever I can, too, but while I want to eat healthy, I still want to ENJOY what I eat!!!
I seem to give a lot of 4 and 5 star reviews here - I seem to have a pretty good sense of what I like by looking at a recipe before I try it. Thank you to anyone that tries my recipes in return, or photographs them.
