Many people will celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with food, so I’ve rounded up some Irish-themed recipes for you.
Reuben Casserole:
Reuben Casserole is a perfect main dish for St. Patrick’s Day. Amy from Amy Casey Cooks said that like a Reuben sandwich, this casserole has corned beef, sauerkraut, homemade 1000 island dressing, and Swiss cheese layered between rye bread.
Instant Pot Guinness Beef Chili:
This one would warm your tummy on a cold day. According to Lisa from Cooking With Curls, Guinness Beef Chili is rich with just the right amount of spice. It’s made with ground beef, stout beer, crushed tomatoes, garlic, onions, and two kinds of chili powder.
It is an excellent meal choice for St. Patrick’s Day or any other day!
Colcannon With Bacon:
Colcannon With Bacon is a St. Patrick’s Day favorite made up of cabbage, chunky mashed potatoes, onion, and salty bacon. Deb says this side dish would be great with glazed ham or corned beef.
Depending on the region in Ireland, it may also include ham or Irish bacon.
Instant Pot Irish Stew:
Instant Pot Irish Stew is a classic lamb dish with potatoes, root veggies, and cabbage. Sue Moran from The View From Great Island said the only real difference between Irish and beef stew is the meat used.
Irish stew is made with lamb or mutton, while beef stew is made with beef.
Original Irish Soda Bread:
Original Irish Soda Bread would be a great addition to your table on St. Patrick’s Day. Kristie of Saving Dollars And Sense says it is easy to make and requires no yeast.
Shepherd’s Pie:
Doesn’t everyone think of classic Shepherd’s Pie when it comes to St. Patrick’s Day? This recipe has flavorful meat and veggies at the bottom of a deep baking pan, with a thick layer of mashed potatoes and cheese on top.
Slow Cooker Corned Beef And Cabbage:
Slow Cooker Corned Beef And Cabbage would be perfect for this holiday.
Rachel from Rachel Cooks says that corned beef needs a long cook time to achieve the tenderness you want. She gives the beef a head start in the broth and seasonings before adding the other ingredients.
Irish Potato Nachos:
Heather at Made In A Pinch has this recipe for Easy Irish Nachos, a twist on the original. She says this crispy pub recipe is basically nachos made with potato rounds instead of tortilla chips.
Trader Joe’s Easy Sliders:
Sandy from Reluctant Entertainer said they bought all their ingredients for these sliders at Trader Joe’s, but you can shop anywhere.
She says the beauty of these cheesy sliders is that you can use either corned beef or pastrami, and cold corned beef sliders are the best!
On St. Patrick’s Day, consider one of these Irish recipes to celebrate the holiday.
Brenda, these are all just too cute! I love those cute shamrock chips and the floats look delicious!! Thanks so much for all the recipes! Have a great day! Love and hugs!
These all look delicious and festive! I enjoy baking Irish Soda Bread and scones. My mom was born in Northern Ireland. My grandfather was an ‘Orangeman’ therefore we wear orange to celebrate on St. Patty’s Day.
Once again you have curated a nice selection of treats! The float and a cupcake sound good to me; I always have a sweet tooth. I love soda bread with some butter and strawberry jam too.
Hope you and the furbabies had a good weekend.
Those are all tasty-looking and fun ideas, Brenda. Since my birthday is on St. Patrick’s Day my mom always used to make Irish Stew and soda bread to celebrate. Then she would make a cake with green frosting! It’s been years since I’ve eaten those yummy foods for my birthday. Maybe I’ll at least make the soda bread this year and one of the other items shown above. They all look so good it’s hard to choose.
Thanks for posting these suggestions for a festive St. Patrick’s Day!
p.s. I’m not one bit Irish!
These are all great and yummy recipes. I love the pot of gold dip and chips that is pretty cute. Have a good week.
