05 - 1 whole head garlic, minced (about 6-8 cloves)
06 - 1 large yellow onion, chopped
07 - 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
08 - 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
09 - 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
10 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

→ Pantry Staples & Thickener

11 - 1 tbsp olive oil
12 - 2 tbsp cornstarch
13 - 2 tbsp cold water (for slurry)

# Instructions:

01 - First things first, pat those lamb chops dry with paper towels. This helps with searing, which we'll get to. Then, chop your potatoes into roughly 1-inch pieces – try to keep them uniform so they cook evenly. Mince your garlic and chop that onion. Honestly, I usually have garlic flying everywhere at this point, but it's part of the charm! This is where the kitchen starts smelling promising, even before cooking.
02 - Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with a bit of olive oil. Once it's shimmering, sear your lamb chops for 2-3 minutes per side until they're nicely browned. Don't overcrowd the pan; work in batches if you need to. I once tried to cram them all in, and they just steamed instead of searing. Oops! That browning adds so much flavor to the Creamy Garlic Lamb Chops. It's a step I rarely skip now.
03 - Now for the easy part! Place half of your chopped potatoes and onions at the bottom of your Crockpot. Sprinkle with half the minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Arrange the seared lamb chops over the veggies, then top with the remaining potatoes, onions, garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper. It should look like a glorious mess, ready for its slow cook adventure!
04 - Pour in the chicken broth and Worcestershire sauce. Give it a gentle stir, making sure everything is nestled in. Put the lid on your Crockpot. You can cook this on LOW for 7-8 hours or on HIGH for 3.5-4 hours. I usually go for HIGH if I'm short on time, but LOW really makes those Creamy Garlic Lamb Chops fall-apart tender. Just set it and forget it, mostly!
05 - When the cooking time is almost up and the lamb is fork-tender, it's time for the magic cream. Carefully remove the lamb chops to a plate and cover them loosely to keep warm. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch with a few tablespoons of cold water until smooth. Stir this slurry into the Crockpot. Then, pour in the heavy cream and stir everything together. It's going to look a bit thin, but trust the process!
06 - Replace the lid and cook on HIGH for another 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your liking. It should coat the back of a spoon beautifully. Taste and adjust seasonings – maybe a little more salt or pepper? Return the lamb chops to the Crockpot, letting them warm through in that luscious, creamy garlic sauce. The aroma filling your kitchen will be incredible, truly! This Creamy Garlic Lamb Chops Crockpot dish is ready.

# Notes:

01 - This dish tastes even better the next day, trust me!
02 - Leftovers store well in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge. Reheat gently.
03 - Swap lamb for pork shoulder if you can't find good chops; adjust cooking time.
04 - Serve with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and a crusty bread to soak up that glorious sauce.
