What Is Dublin Coddle?

When you think of a St. Patrick’s Day recipe, what do you think of…Corned beef & cabbage, right? I hope this recipe changes your mind. I  discovered Irish Dublin Coddle years ago and I have been hooked ever since. Coddle is an Irish comfort dish that usually consists of sausages, bacon, potatoes, onion, salt, pepper, and herbs. It cost-effective, quick, and easy. Personally I love the simplicity of it: meat, potatoes, onion, and basic herbs.  The best thing about this Dublin coddle is that you can eat it for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Sausage, bacon, potatoes, and onion. This slow cooker spin on Irish Dublin coddle is definitely hearty yet also whole30 and paleo compliant. You can serve this St. Patrick's Day recipe for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

What Type Of Sausage To Use

I like to use a thick, pork sausage, something like a breakfast sausage, polish sausage, or bratwurst. Having said that, I’m a firm believer that you should use the ingredients that fit your lifestyle and budget. In addition to using an uncooked sausage, another option is to use a cooked, smoked sausage. If you choose to use a smoked sausage, you do not have to pre-cook it first, you can add it directly to the slow cooker or Instant Pot.

Make This Whole30

To make this Irish Dublin coddle whole30 compliant, simply use compliant sausage and bacon. My go-to is Naked Bacon. Their sugar-free breakfast sausage & bacon pairs perfectly in this recipe.

What Type Of Potatoes To Use

What you see here are russet potatoes. You can use your preferred potato in this recipe but some work better than others. I usually recommend a waxy potato for the slow cooker or pressure cooker because they hold their shape during the cooking process. But like most of my recipes, I encourage you to use the ingredients you have & like.  If you use a non-waxy potato like I did here, I suggest you cut them into larger chunks than you usually would. This will help them hold their shape during the cooking process and not turn mushy on you.

When To Add The Bacon

When you add the bacon is kind of up to your personal preference. If you add the bacon at the beginning of cook time along with the rest of the ingredients, the bacon will be soft. If you want crispy bacon, I suggest you stir the cooked bacon into the dish after it’s done cooking. Having made it both ways, I prefer to stir the bacon afterwards.

    I made this twice, the first time I used Sausage, but the second time I used Kielbasa, I was out of regular sausage. The kielbasa worked well, but I have to say I liked it best with the regular sausage.
    Great recipe Thank you

    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.

      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.

        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!

          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 šŸ™‚ I also brought Irish Soda Bread which everyone loved as well šŸ™‚ Thank you for the inspiration and great traditional Irish recipe!!! šŸ™‚
