Lamb Dishes
Lamb is as versatile as beef in the way you can cook with it which is why you'll find such a variety of recipes here for lamb dishes. It can be grilled like on kabobs or slow simmered in a stew.
Younger lamb has the best flavor. The older it is the more gamey it can be (mutton is a lamb that is over 2 years old and it's considered the lower end quality wise).

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.
