I made this last night and OMG 🤤🤤 will definitely make it again , my daughter Hates mushrooms and will throw tantrums over them , but reckons was the best gravy she has ever had so definitely a winner for me ,( I didn’t have the heart to tell her it has mushrooms as I would love to eat it again )

Made this a couple of days ago, for the first time, and it was a winner. Took the bones out before serving. The meat fell apart and the sauce was delish. I dislike mushrooms with a passion, but could not taste any mushroom flavour in this recipe. I added minced garlic to this as well, just because I pretty much throw garlic into most of my cooking. You can taste the mint though, so if you don’t like mint with your lamb, you could halve the amount and it would still taste awesome. Will be definitely making this dish again.

I don’t have any.

I’ve done this recipe with shanks before but I think the Leg of Lamb is my favourite <3 doesn't taste like mushrooms as my husband and I can't stand them but we love the Gravy you get using this recipe. The leg of lamb fell apart so good served with roast spuds…

I’m assuming that’s a mulitcooker and not an actual slow cooker?
Sadly these are the many downfalls of these machines.
This should be ok on high but I’d expect a leg will need longer than 4hrs usually. However again, because it’s not a slow cooker I’m not certain on those times 🙂

I have an all in one cooker that only does “high” on the slow cooking function. I usually do lamb for around 4 hours high with great success. Any idea if I can cook this obsession dish on just on high or will the sauce be bad?

I tried this same recipe with 6 lamb forequarter chops it was absolutely delicious!
I also doubled the amount of liquid (not the mint sauce I left that the same) so there was lots of gravy to go over the mash and vegies I was serving with it.
No complaints and got told I can make it anytime 😁 it’s definitely a winner here 👍

Yes we often do Chicken obsession. I still use the mushroom soup myself and it’s amazing but you can use chicken if you want 🙂

Could you do this with chicken and use condensed chicken soup?

I made this for my family. We only had a small roast so I added some more chops. Omg will be definitely cooking it again.

If you are worried it will taste like mushrooms – don’t worry 🙂 Every day I see adamant mushroom HATERS assure me they never tasted it and even feed it to unsuspecting mushroom hating partners and they never guess hahaha
If it’s allergy related you can swap to cream of chicken but it’s not as good

Is there anything else I can use besides the can of mushrooms????

Tried for first time today and sauce was absolutely delicious, I didn’t make any amendments.
My lamb leg was a bit fatty so would use different cut next time.
Will definitely make again.

I must be the only person that doesn’t like this recipe. Meat was lovely but I did not like the sauce. Think it may have been the french onion soup. 🙁

Love this recipe, so tasty, works so well with a leg of lamb. I’ll never cook a leg of lamb any other way! Big hit with the family. Leftovers great on toast or sandwiches the next day.

This has been a big winner in this house for years now 🙂 my children and I absolutely love it as well as other family and friends it’s amazing 🙂 I wish lamb was cheaper to have more often haha we usually cook roast veggies to go with it and we even had it for Christmas one time and was a massive hit

Cooked this today with rump and it was amazing. Didn’t add the mint sauce because I didn’t have any. I have prepared this as a dump bag and just added veggies and it was amazing. Definitely lived up to the all the reviews and will be doing this again

I made this for the family for the 1st time it was so delicious the meat was super tender and just fell off the bone. So easy to prepare I did leave the mint sauce out though as we don’t like it .
Definitely a winner for our house

So I’ve made this several times and thought I’d better leave a review. WOW! What a super easy yet super tasty dish..we love it! Made with both a roast and chops. Make the juice into a gravy. Mmm. Husband calls it Lamb Delicious! Even got my mum onto it!

It’s not often I rave about a recipe but this one deserves all of the 5***** reviews it has been given. I used a lean leg of lamb and it fell off the bone it was so tender. The Obsession Sauce is to die for. I carved the meat and put it back in the sauce for the last 30 minutes and served it with new potatoes, runner beans and carrots. Abolutely gorgeous!

HUGE FAMILY FAVE!! Meat literally falls apart. The leftovers (if any!) are the most devine pie filling for the next nights dinner.

Love it. ❤️❤️
I use roast lamb, trimming most of the fat off. Remove any bones and shred meat , and mix through the sauce, serve with mashed potato and veggies. Yummy. 😋
Oh and if any left overs, it makes amazing toasties/jaffles.

Steph if you go to the original recipe and have a look at the comments below it you’ll see dozens of people all leaving feedback that there is zero mushroom taste and they feed it all the time to unsuspecting mushroom haters who never once detect it … trust us… he won’t taste it 🙂

Love the sound of this but hubby won’t touch mushrooms. Any suggestions for replacement soup flavours? Thinking tomato perhaps?
Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central

You can do it all on low for sure 🙂 If it’s a large roast it can easily handle more hours 8-10hrs on low

I made this with a lamb shoulder. It was amazing! My favourite slow cooker meal so far. The meat easily shredded, plenty of sauce, so easy to do.
I ate it with fresh bread.

Made this up with a leg of lamb before we went out to the footy today and 8 hours later when we arrived home it was ready. The meat fell apart and was SO succulent. Thankyou for a super easy and delish meal x

Sorry I missed your question until now
I find it easily shreds the same was as you’d do pulled pork if cooked long enough
Or you can slice it like a roast style 🙂

Ok so I have just put this in on, my first time making it (I’m not lover of lamb) but the people I’m making this for are. I’m using a lamb shoulder roast.
My question: will this fall f the bone & do I just use forks to seperate it ( like I do for the pulled pork?
Please & thank you

OMG Family loved it. My 7yr old son even commented “the meat is so nice and soft, it melts in your mouth”.
Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central
February 15, 2017
Give it at least 4hrs on low (after the 2hrs high) if its’ a smaller roast like around 1kg or go the 6hrs if it’s closer to 2kg or above 🙂

February 14, 2017
First time obsessor here! How will I know if my lamb will need 4, 5 or 6 hrs on low ? I’d like the meat to melt in my mouth and be easy to cut. Thanks. 🙂

This is a favorite in our house although my 6 year old calls it fireman lamb. No idea why but happy for him to call it whatever he wants if it ends in a clean plate (which it always does)

Neil all lamb will be oily by nature of the meat.
However there are several ways you can help to prevent or limit it in your finished dish 🙂
How can I remove excess fat/oil from my slow cooker dish?
Neil Sheppard
August 11, 2016
I really want to try this but EVERY time I cook lamb for my family they say “It’s too fatty” or “It’s too greasy” Does this turn out fatty / greasy?

Did this with a rolled Lamb Shoulder Roast and smashed it out of the park. Will get a bigger cut next time and double up.
Paulene, you’re a genius!

Absolutely love this recipe. Even hubby who is meat and 3, no just 2, veggies man loves it. I use Lamb Forequarter Cutlets/Chops which I usually buy on special and keep in the freezer until ready to use. All the ingredients go so well together and if you don’t like mint, mushrooms or Worcestershire Sauce it doesn’t matter as none of these flavours are dominant and I would be hard pressed to detect the flavours. Such a great recipe, thanks Paulene.
