Slow Cooker Lamb Chili

You’re gonna not believe that this slow cooker lamb chili stew has an ingredient in it that you’d probably never thinking of adding! But, what this one little ingredient does is round out the entire flavor profile of this chili! Now, this lamb chili stew is probably award-winning, at least on my table and with my family and friends!

Lamb Chili

This lamb chili stew is a combination of both chili and stew. It’s heartier and packed with more vegetables. And, this makes it even more robust and filling. The degree of heat and spice in chili is totally up to you. While the surprise ingredient helps tone down some of the ‘heat’ if you want more spice, then by all means add something like red chili flakes to ramp up the heat.

Lamb for Stew

Lamb for stew is quite often used. But, I’m not sure if you’ve used ground lamb for your stew. Probably chunks of lamb, right? Well, this ground lamb makes it just as delicious as a red meat.
