When you think of a St. Patrick’s Day recipe, what do you think of? Corned beef & cabbage, right? I’ll be sharing with you different Irish recipes. Don’t get me wrong, you are going to see some sort of corned beef recipe out of me as well. And yes, St. Patrick’s Day is still a couple of weeks away I know. I want you to have these recipes on-hand prior to the holiday so you can properly plan. First up is Dublin Coddle.
This is SSSSOOOO easy to make. You can eat this for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Obviously this doesn’t need to be cooked in the slow cooker. Heck, it starts out with the bacon and sausage pretty much cooked in full anyway. If you don’t have a slow cooker, you can make this on your stove top.
I love that this recipe is nice & simple. Meat & potatoes. I’m a Midwestern girl at heart so right up my alley. You can use potatoes or sweet potatoes depending on your diet. I actually used a combination of the two. Can’t tell the difference huh? That’s because I used white sweet potatoes.
If you don’t eat pork, use turkey or chicken bacon and sausage. I cut my bacon in half, you can even go a bit further and chop it into 1-inch pieces. I also ended up slicing up my sausages. In the past I have added 1 lb carrots to this recipe as well. Since the bacon and sausage are both partially cooked before you add them to the slow cooker, this meal cooks fast. You just need a couple of hours. The bacon will be soft. If you want crispy bacon I suggest you wait until this has completed cooking and stirring the bacon in before serving.

It was quite the success with my husband who is a picky eater. And it made just the right amount since there are only the two of us. Enough for leftovers for one day.
Is the Sausage just link breakfast link sausage?
You can use breakfast sausage but I like to use a thicker sausage similar to the size of a bratwurst.
It says 4 servings, does that mean its only enough for 4 people? I need to make enough to feed 12 people. Do you suggest I double if I have a large crockpot?
Correct this served approx 4 people for me but you can easily double this if you have a large 5 or 6 quart slow cooker.
Type of sausage did you use please
You can use your preferred type but I find thick Italian or bratwurst type sausages work better than skinny breakfast sausages. Enjoy!
What kind of sausage do you use?

Italian sounds good. I ended up using a homemade sage breakfast sausage without casing and it turned out great! Thanks for the recipe.
You think browning the sausage and bacon the night before will effect it a lot? Time chrunch on the day I need it.
It should be okay. They’re both going to lose some of their crispness when they cook anyway. Let me know how it turns out!
Hi, what kind of sausage did you Use? I’d imagine it’s be hard to get true Irish “bangers” here in the states. Thanks.

I am making this today and I tripled all the ingredients. I hope it tastes as good as it smells. I have not made this in over 25 years so I pray it tastes as good now as it did then.
Ooh the pressure is on!!! Let me know how it turns out!

Homemade sausage?!?! OMG I bet your kitchen smells amazing! Enjoy:-)
Made this for my peeps at work. I added carrots, a tablespoon of basil, and tripled the broth amount. They loved it!! Thank you!
You’re welcome! I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed the recipe!
Could you pair this dish with Chardonnay?
This would be great with a nice glass of Chardonnay. But then again, what isn’t?? Enjoy!
Hahaha! Perfect! Then I’m going to be serving thisThursday at a Chardonnay Wine Tasting 🙂
Thank you 🙂
I made this for the Chardonnay Wine Tasting/Pairing and it was devoured!!! I was able to find bangers and smoked bacon. I cooked it in a crockpot since I had to work all day. Everyone LOVED it! The only thing left at the bottom of the pot was a lone bay leaf! Hahaha! It paired great with the Chardonnay 🙂 I also brought Irish Soda Bread which everyone loved as well 🙂 Thank you for the inspiration and great traditional Irish recipe!!! 🙂
That looks really yummy! Especially wrapped up in a tortilla ❤
Thank you! I agree, this is great in a tortilla:-)
