If you haven't been paying attention to the calendar, St. Patrick's Day is tomorrow, and if you are still looking for some inspiration for your "green" dinner, you've come to the right place.
I will admit, St. Paddy's Day isn't really a big deal in our house. Sure, I have a few decorations up, Alex always wants to wear green, but besides that, we don't do much to celebrate. We are way past the age of going out for some green beer, and with a kid, unless gifts are involved, it's not a real holiday.
However, I do try to serve something festive or Irish inspired for dinner. It's a simple way to acknowledge the day, and hey, we gotta eat. And to me, nothing says March 17th more than cabbage. So, you know I was excited when I first saw this recipe! A simple stew perfect for a holiday on a weekday.
If you've never added cabbage to your soups or stews, you are really missing out. It adds such flavor and really keeps its consistency well. If I'm making a stew, I want a dish that we can really sink our teeth into. Big chunks of meat, potatoes and veggies that will fill us up!
This would make a fantastic supper for your St. Patrick's Day tomorrow night. Sure, you can go with something a little more traditional like Corn Beef and Cabbage, or even my Crock Pot Irish Stew, but why not switch things up a bit and put a yummy twist on your holiday this year?

Cook for additional 15 minutes. *NOTE* I actually made this in the afternoon and let it sit on the stove (off) covered, and reheated at supper time.
Like this recipe. Can you make in the crock pot & how long would you cook it? Thanks for any info.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure since I've never tried it. If I were to make it in the slow cooker I would still brown the meat, and sauté the veggies. Then I would let it cook on LOW for a few hours and then add in the condensed soup as per the recipe. But this is totally a guess off the top of my head.
