Leg of Lamb

Dave loves leg of lamb!  We don't have it often, but he loves it!  I wanted to make it, but had no idea how and did not have too much patience to try something fancy.  So, I went with the good old crock pot - having no idea what to expect.  I think this is a pricey cut of meat to use in a crock pot, so I hope it is good!

1 Leg of Lamb (fresh or frozen)
1/2 cup Water
Veggies of your choice - onions, potatoes, carrots, whatever............


Run hot water over the frozen lamb package, just so it thaws enough that you can cut open the package and peel it away from the meat
Plop it into your crockpot along with veggies of your choice.


Add a half cup of water


Cover and cook on low for 7-9 hours.


you don't need to add any additional water as long as you keep the lid closed and don't futz with it.


*If you are using fresh leg of lamb with a dry rub, cover the meat with the 1/2 cup of water and cook on high for 4-6 hours.*

Dave's Take:  Again, he is out of town.  But, he LOVED it.  Ate it like he had not eaten in a LOOOOONG time.  Total and complete hit!

Nancy's Take:  I don't like leg of lamb too much, but this was yummy.  Super easy to cook and tasted really yummy.  I'd make it again - I am sure that would make Dave happy.
