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!

This was amazing. I think we were all fighting over who got the last bowl.
I’m thinking about making this for a St. Patrick’s church dinner. How many bowls does this recipe make?
This recipes serves 6-8 Joe 🙂
I prepped this meal last night and my husband put it on the slow cooker this morning. I was very disappointed, it turned out nothing like the picture. It wasn’t thick and hearty looking, it had an excessive amount of broth. I realized later on that I forgot to add the tomato sauce, but even then that would have added more liquid. ? I had been looking forward to it all day at work. I’m going to give it another try and hope I end up with the same yummy results others are getting.
Can this be cooked on high for 4-5 hours instead?
Can we also put the crock pot on high and cook 4-5 hrs? I don’t see why not.
