Why You’ll Love This Recipe

If you want to serve a traditional St. Patrick’s Day dinner, but aren’t a fan of corned beef–or cabbage–then I highly recommend this Dublin Coddle.

I have this thing about corned beef. With the possible exception of a good Reuben sandwich, I just don’t like it. So I’m always at a loss when it comes to serving a traditional Irish dinner.

And then I discovered Dublin Coddle. Really, where has this delicious dish been all my life?

Basically, it’s a giant, savory pot of potatoes, sausage, bacon and onions. Now that’s something I’m happy to eat on St. Patrick’s Day, or any day of the year, for that matter.

There’s nothing fancy going on here. Just some basic ingredients and cooking techniques. But boy are the results ever delicious!

You just want to check your pot every so often to make sure there’s some liquid in the bottom. Other than that, this meal is pretty hand-off.

And whether you leave the sausages whole or cut them in to chunks is really up to you. I prefer to slice mine up, but either way is fine. I also like to add a sprinkling of fresh parsley at the end to brighten things up a bit.

The kind of potatoes is entirely up to you–pretty much any variety will work in this recipe. But potatoes are a must, of course, being a staple food in Ireland.

When it comes to hearty, satisfying comfort food, it really doesn’t get any better than this. For a true Irish meal, serve this with a side of Traditional Irish Soda Bread, with some Irish Tea Cake for dessert.

This Dublin Coddle is so good, you’re going to want to serve it all year long, not just on St. Patrick’s Day!

Ingredients 

1x2x3x

• 1 pound pork sausages
• 1 pound bacon cut into 1-inch pieces
• 2 medium onions cut into large chunks
• 3 pounds potatoes peeled and cut into large chunks
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 cups beef broth

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
• In a large, oven-proof pot with a lid, brown the sausages and bacon until sausage is browned and bacon is just crispy. Drain briefly on paper towels and remove most of the grease from the pot. If desired, cut the sausages into large chunks.
• Layer the ingredients in the same pot as follows: half of the onions, bacon, sausage and potatoes. Sprinkle with half of the parsley. Season generously with salt and pepper. Repeat with the remaining half of the ingredients.
• Pour the beef broth over the top. On the stove top, bring the liquid to a boil. (You may not be able to see the broth in the bottom of the pot, but you’ll be able to hear when it boils).
• Remove from heat and cover the pot. Put the covered pot in the oven and cook for at least three hours (or up to 4 or 5 hours).
• About half-way through cooking, check the pot and add more water if necessary. There should be about an inch of liquid in the bottom of the pot at all times.
• Serve with bread for mopping up the juices.
