This recipe earned a "very good" from DH, who is pretty hard to please! I actually used lamb neck pieces (very inexpensive) in the crockpot and it made them oh-so tender. I followed steps 1-5 as stated in recipe, only instead of adding meat to pan, I put everything into the crockpot, skipping the saute'ing of the onions and just putting them in the crock with pre-cooked, crumbled bacon. I decided to add potatoes, turnips, and peas later since DH doesn't like mushy spuds, so I let cook on low without the veggies for 6 hours. I THEN ran out of time to add the veggies to the crock and have them come out cooked, so I boiled the potatoes and turnips together until almost done, and then added to crock with frozen peas and turned it to high for about 30 minutes. It turned out great! DH said this is the way his mom cooks, and this reminded him of "back home." Thank you so much for sharing this lamb recipe that I will use often!

How could this wonderful recipe have gone so long without a review? This is comfort food for the soul (mind you, you have to love lamb) I did not add the extra butter with the bacon & onions I started the bacon first then added the onions and after the onions were translucent and the bacon crisp I drained off all the bacon fat (I love it but No No) . I left the frozen peas out until the last 5 minutes of cooking Thanks Eve - great tasty easy recipe
