Crockpot Irish Stew
Two 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 !
Crockpot Irish Stew
- Combine all ingredients in slow cooker. Mix well.
- Cover and cook over LOW heat for 7.5-8 hours.

- NOTE: At about 7.5 hours, I added a cup of water…it looked like it needed a little more liquid.
- The kiddos really enjoyed this one. Little D called it the “best steak soup ever!!!” hehe I say this Crockpot Irish Stew is a winner!

I just made this tonight for family and a visitor. Absolutely delicious! Thank you!
Awesome! I am so happy you and your family loved it!
This was absolutely perfect for this chilly Michigan day! The whole family loved it and it was SO EASY to throw together! Thanks for the great recipe!
Awesome Nicole! I’m glad I could help warm the family up 🙂
So I made this a couple weeks ago and loved it! Ate the leftovers everyday for lunch until it was gone and loved every bite! I was wondering if this stew freezes well. I’m about to pop any day now with baby #2 and would love to have it in the freezer ready to eat whenever baby comes. I know some things don’t always taste or come out so well after being frozen.
with the pearl barley, do I cook as directed on the barley then throw in the pot, or justo their de and drain and throw it in the pot?
Thank you!
Non-cooker 😉
DO not cook before placing in the crockpot. Just rinse and drain it 🙂
Has anyone tried to freeze this? I’m making it today – So excited!
