How to Make Lamb Baked In Packages

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cut 1.5 lbs of lamb into 4-5 inch servings (approximately 4 servings).
  3. Place each lamb serving on a large (12x12 inch) square of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  4. Arrange the following vegetables on top of each lamb serving:
  5. - 1/2 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  6. - 1/2 cup of baby carrots
  7. - 1/2 cup of diced celery
  8. - 1 medium potato, cut into 1-inch chunks
  9. - 1 oz of shredded cheese (cheddar, Gruyere, or your favorite)
  10. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of lemon juice over each lamb serving.
  11. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  12. Carefully fold the foil over the lamb and vegetables to create a sealed packet. Crimp the edges to ensure no steam escapes.
  13. Arrange the foil packets close together in a large baking pan.
  14. Bake for 2 hours and 15 minutes, or until the lamb is cooked through and tender.
  15. Let the packets rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Carefully open each packet to release the delicious aroma and serve directly from the foil.
