Lancashire Hot Pot is a classic British dish that has been popular for over a century. Traditionally, it was made with lamb kidneys, but this recipe uses diced lamb instead for a healthier twist. The dish originated in Lancashire, England, and is known for its hearty, filling nature. It is simple, rustic, and perfect for a cozy night in with family or friends. The dish is typically served with crusty bread or steamed greens.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 180°C.
2.	Melt the butter in a large casserole dish and cook the onions over medium heat for 10 minutes. Add the lamb and season with salt and pepper. Cook over high heat until the meat is browned on all sides.
3.	Sprinkle the flour over the lamb and stir well. Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Cook for a few minutes until the sauce thickens.
4.	Arrange the sliced potatoes on top of the lamb mixture and season with salt and pepper.
5.	Cover the dish with a lid and bake in the oven for 1.5 hours. Then, remove the lid and bake for another 30 minutes until the potatoes are golden brown.
