Crockpot Irish Stew

Crockpot Irish Stew served in a white bowlTwo days left until St. Patrick’s Day, and I have another EASY recipe for you to try out.  Crockpot Irish Stew!

I found a couple stews online for St. Patrick’s Day, involving potatoes and cabbage. I really wanted to make this stew last night and didn’t have those things on hand, so I decided to tweak a couple ingredients and came up with this beauty.

My pour veggie Darryl was left out of this dinner, but the girls and I LOVED it. I chopped up the veggies the night before, and then in the morning, dumped everything into the crockpot, and pushed GO! So very simple!

Hope you enjoy this yummy Crockpot Irish Stew !

  1. What, no Guinness? I’m going to sub tomato paster reconstituted with beer for the tomato sauce when I make this 🙂 But it looks yummy your way too !

    1. Good grief, looks like I’ve been into the beer already – paste, not paster 🙂

  2. this looks hearty filling and delicious! you have out done yourself again Chef Corey! 🙂 <3 Thank you for linking at Successful Saturdays!

    hi, i was wondering if you could do this in a pressure cooker too, or if it would only work with the slow cooker. thanks!!

    1. Alejandra, I have never tried it in a pressure cooker. However, I have used a pressure cooker to speed things up for other crockpot meals. If you try it, PLEASE let me know if the pressure cooker works out… because that would be amazing! XO

      I’ll be giving this a try tomorrow in the pressure cooker. Wish me luck!!!! :o) I’ll report back, good or bad, haha. Thanks again for posting this recipe, it really does sound delish!!

  4. Made this tonight. It was delicious! Thanks tor sharing

  5. Do you think I could use lentils or rice in place of the barley? It looks so yummy, but I can’t have barley.

    1. I have never made it with those… but lentils sound like they could be yummy. Farro would also work. Hope that helps! XO

  6. The recipe says tomato sauce, but I see in the comments someone mentions paste… Does it make a difference? (Sorry, non-cooker over here.)

    1. If you use paste, add about 1/2 or 1 cup of water. That will give you the same results as tomato sauce 🙂

      1. Thank you! Already did the prep work. Can’t wait to get it in the crockpot first thing in the am. Happy St. Paddy’s Day!

  7. I made this today and we just finished it. Wonderful! Thank you so much…everyone really enjoyed it! Hope you’re having a happy day! This week’s Homemaking Linkup is up and I would love to have you join, if you haven’t already.

    Blessings,
