Celebrate St. Patrick's Day with This Best-Ever Crock Pot Irish Stew
Crock Pot Irish Stew
In case you haven't been paying attention, the leprechauns and green beer are about to descend upon us. That's right, St. Patrick's Day will be here before we know it, and while it isn't a major holiday in our house (with a ten-year-old, that means there are no gifts to open!) I do try to celebrate in the easiest way I know how—with food! This is a dish I first made a couple of years ago, and it's become my go-to meal every March 17.
While corned beef and cabbage is the traditional meal, this Irish stew recipe is a great alternative if you love to use your slow cooker on busy work days. Plus, if it's still cold at your house, it will warm your family up too! Designed for convenience and ease like any good Crock Pot Recipe and chockfull of the ultimate comforting vibes, I love this crockpot Irish Stew because it's like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow...and I know you will think the same.
