Mum's French Onion Lamb Chops Recipe

This treasured family recipe, passed down through generations, delivers tender, flavorful lamb chops infused with the rich taste of French onion soup. Using forequarter lamb chops (adjust quantity based on your cut), this recipe is easily customizable. While we use reduced-sodium French onion soup mix for a less intense flavor, feel free to experiment with 1-2 packets to control the gravy's thickness. The result? A comforting, succulent dish perfect for a weeknight dinner or special occasion. Serve with creamy mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
