Slow Cooker Lambs Fry Bacon Ingredients

  • 2 whole lambs fry
  • 6 slices of bacon, cut into pieces
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 6 mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • 1 packet French onion soup mix
  • 1 cup beef stock
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • A splash of Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • Milk for soaking (optional)

How To Make Slow Cooker Lambs Fry Bacon

  1. Prep the Lambs Fry: If you prefer a milder flavor, soak the lambs fry in milk for 1 hour. This step is optional but recommended to reduce the liver’s intensity.
  2. Sautรฉ the Add-Ins: In a frying pan, cook the bacon until crisp. Add the onion and mushrooms, cooking until they are soft and golden, then transfer them to the slow cooker.
  3. Coat and Cook the Lambs Fry: Drain and slice the lambs fry. In a separate bowl, mix the flour with half of the French onion soup packet, salt, and pepper. Coat the lambs fry slices in this mixture, then fry in the same pan for a few minutes until just browned. Add these to the slow cooker.
  4. Mix the Liquids: Combine the remaining French onion soup mix with the beef stock and Worcestershire sauce. Pour this over the contents in the slow cooker.
  5. Slow Cook to Perfection: Stir everything together to ensure even distribution of flavors. Cover with the lid and set your slow cooker on low. Let it cook for 4 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the lambs fry to become tender.
  6. Finish and Serve: After cooking, give the stew a good stir. Serve hot, perhaps with a side of creamy mashed potatoes or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.

Can This Dish Be Made Ahead of Time?

Yes, you can make this dish ahead of time! Prepare everything and store it in the refrigerator. When ready to eat, simply reheat gently on the stove or in a slow cooker until it’s warmed through. Itโ€™s perfect for busy weeknights!

Recipe Tips

  • Optimize Your Ingredients: Before tossing everything into your slow cooker, ensure all your veggies are freshly sliced and your bacon is properly prepped; this maximizes flavor and texture in the final dish.
  • Pre-Searing Is Key: Always sear your lambs fry before adding it to the slow cooker; this extra step locks in flavours and gives the meat a much-needed texture boost that you will definitely appreciate.
  • Layer Flavours: When assembling the ingredients in your slow cooker, layer the onions and mushrooms beneath the lambs fry and bacon to ensure they absorb all the juicy flavours during the cooking process.
  • Check Seasoning: Halfway through the cooking process, give your dish a taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary; sometimes a splash more Worcestershire sauce or a pinch of salt can elevate the entire dish.

Recipe Variations

  • Experiment with Herbs: Try adding rosemary or thyme to your slow cooker for an aromatic twist that complements the rich flavours of the lambs fry and bacon beautifully.
  • Swap the Stock: Instead of beef stock, consider using chicken or vegetable stock for a lighter flavour profile that still brings out the best in your ingredients.
  • Add a Kick: For those who like a bit of heat, a teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes or a splash of hot sauce can add a nice warmth that cuts through the richness of the dish.
  • Veggie Boost: Don’t hesitate to throw in additional vegetables like carrots or celery for extra texture and flavour; they’ll cook down nicely and add a healthy twist to this hearty meal.

What To Serve With Lambs Fry Bacon

Serve your Lambs Fry Bacon with Bacon And Onion Pudding, steamed green beans, Jiffy Cornbread, or a fresh garden salad.

Creamy cauliflower bake can also add a delightful twist to your meal.

How To Store Leftover Lambs Fry Bacon

In The Fridge:

Cool the Lambs Fry Bacon to room temperature before you think about storageโ€”safety first, right? Pop it into airtight containers, stash it in the fridge, and you’re good for up to 3 days.

In The Freezer:

Don’t even think about freezing this dishโ€”the liver texture will turn on you, becoming grainy and not at all pleasant. Best to enjoy it fresh or keep it chilled in the fridge.

How To Reheat Leftover Lambs Fry Bacon

When it’s time to reheat, keep it low and slow. Use a saucepan over low heat to gently warm the Lambs Fry Bacon through. High heat will ruin the texture, so patience is your friend here to keep everything just right.
