Really, corned brisket was about the only beef I enjoyed as a kid. </p> <p>As a grown up, I still make the brisket in a crockpot, but I don't really like cabbage or boiled potatoes so I usually roast potatoes, carrots, and parsnips. </p> <p>Or I really like this cottage pie recipe. The mashed potatoes take a while to make, but the rest of it isn't too bad. <a href="http://www.realsimple.com/food-recipes/browse-all-recipes/cottage-pies-recipe" rel="nofollow">http://www.realsimple.com/food-recipes/browse-all-recipes/cottage-pies-recipe</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-or-crockpot-irish-meals#post-2487807 Tue, 08 Mar 2016 16:23:50 +0000 looch 2487807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Asking my dad to cook his Irish boiled dinner. He's italian, but learned it from an Irish family friend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-or-crockpot-irish-meals#post-2487778 Tue, 08 Mar 2016 16:02:43 +0000 gingerbebe 2487778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Colcannon is pretty good - it's basically buttery mashed potatoes with cooked cabbage or kale and chopped bacon or ham all mixed into one dish. </p> <p>You can do sausages and mashed potatoes too.</p> <p>Crockpot Guinness beef stew over mashed potatoes.</p> <p>I love shepherd's pie but I prefer it with regular potatoes. It's so fast especially if you buy a tub of mashed potatoes at the store. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-or-crockpot-irish-meals#post-2487759 Tue, 08 Mar 2016 15:52:45 +0000 Chillybear 2487759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going to do a shepards pie.... I'm using the rachel ray recipe. It looks easy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-or-crockpot-irish-meals#post-2487758 Tue, 08 Mar 2016 15:51:29 +0000 regberadaisy 2487758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What are you planning on making for St Patty's Day?</p> <p>We usually do Guinness corned beef and cabbage but I don't think the girls will eat it. Might still try it and adapt the recipe for the crockpot. I thought about shepherd's pie with sweet potatoes on top, I could prep everything the night before.</p> <p>What are you planning on making? </p>
