Greek Lamb....yum!

Another widely devoured crockpot recipe- try it! The flavor of the broth is so delicious and if you are not around during the day, this is a perfect dish to make while you are gone and when you return to your pot, and you have a half hour, at least, when you can add the last ingredients. Not to mention a side. Enjoy!
