Cooking Slow Cooker Lamb Chops is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:

1. Season the Lamb: Rub the lamb chops on both sides with salt, black pepper, rosemary, and thyme. Allow them to sit for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.

2. Sear the Lamb (optional): In a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Brown the lamb chops on both sides for about 2-3 minutes per side. This step enhances flavor but can be skipped if you’re short on time.

3. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Place the sliced onions and carrots at the bottom of the slow cooker.

4. Add Lamb Chops: Arrange the seasoned lamb chops on top of the vegetables.

5. Add Flavorings: Pour in the minced garlic, broth, red wine (if using), lemon zest, and Dijon mustard over the lamb.

6. Set the Slow Cooker: Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours, until the lamb is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

7. Check for Doneness: Once cooked, check that the internal temperature of the lamb reaches at least 145°F (62°C) for medium-rare.

8. Serve: Once done, remove the lamb and vegetables. Strain the cooking liquid and use it as a gravy if desired.
