Note

The original source text contained instructions for cookies and sugar glaze, which are unrelated to a lamb casserole. These have been removed and replaced with realistic cooking steps for a lamb stew.

Storage: Allow the casserole to cool completely before refrigerating in an airtight container. It will keep for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.

Variations: You can add peas or green beans during the last 15 minutes of cooking for extra color and texture.

Tip: For a richer gravy, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir into the pot during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
