Keto Slow Cooker Lamb Chops
Keto slow cooker lamb chops in a creamy mushroom and Dijon gravy. Seared, then cooked low for 4 hours with onion and garlic, and finished with cream.
Lamb chops are usually a fast, hot-pan dinner, but they also do beautifully low and slow. Seared first for colour, then cooked gently on a bed of mushrooms and onion, they become tender enough to cut with a fork.
The cooking juices turn into a creamy mushroom and Dijon gravy at the end, thickened with a pinch of xanthan gum instead of canned soup. Each serving has about 4g net carbs and 36g protein.

How This Recipe Comes Together
The chops get a quick sear in butter, then sit on top of mushrooms, onion and garlic in the slow cooker with a cup of broth and rosemary. They cook for four hours on low. Then they come out, and the cream, Dijon and xanthan gum are whisked into the pot to make a gravy.

What to Serve With It
Serve with cauliflower mash, roasted asparagus or green beans to catch the gravy.
How to Store and Reheat
Keep in the fridge with the gravy for up to 3 days. Reheat gently, covered, so the lamb does not toughen. Freezing is possible for up to 2 months, though cream gravies can separate a little; stir while reheating.
FAQs
Can I use lamb shoulder chops?
Yes. They are fattier and handle the long cook very well.
Can I skip the cream?
Yes. Thicken the juices with xanthan gum alone for a lighter gravy.
Do I have to sear the chops?
It is optional, but it adds a lot of flavour and colour.
