March 17 is a great day for feasting. If you need a little help meal planning, consider one of these tasty St. Patrick’s Day Recipes.

I’ll confess. I’ve not YET been to Ireland, but it’s on my list! And I’m happy to eat Irish food. So far as I can tell from my research, it’s hearty, wholesome fare. In fact, over the years I’ve developed some of my own recipes that I hope would pass muster on the Emerald Isle.

If you’re looking for some inspiration for your St. Patrick’s Day meal planning, I suggest these good cheap eats:

St. Patrick’s Day Recipes

Easy Black Currant Scones

Enjoy a spot of tea and these delicious Black Currant Scones. You’ll be surprised how easy they are to make! It might take a little effort to track down black currants, but they’re worth the effort.

Shepherd’s Pie

Shepherd’s Pie is a hearty, filling dish featuring meat, vegetables, and gravy under a fluffy bed of mashed potatoes. Bake this up for some ultimate comfort food.

Irish Stew

This Irish Stew is simple to make. It just takes a few minutes to brown the meat and saute onions on the stovetop, and then you finish it off in the crockpot. Delicious!

Easy Roast Potatoes

These Easy Roast Potatoes are a great accompaniment to Corned Beef and Cabbage. So easy to mix up and slide into the oven!

Guinness Beef Stew

This Guinness Beef Stew is similar to my traditional Irish Stew but is enhanced with a bottle of Guinness and a good dose of mushrooms. Those two riffs add amazing flavor to the dish, beefing up the richness and savory goodness. My husband is a big fan of Guinness.

Irish Soda Bread

This soda bread is super easy to mix up. No rising needed. Just stir up the dough, shape it, and bake. It is fantastic with stew and some Dubliner cheese.

Easy Apple Crisp

Top the evening off with an Easy Apple Crisp. It’s delicious with whipped cream or a wee bit of ice cream. Comforting and delicious!

I’m not one bit Irish but they say we all are on St. Patrick’s Day so with that in mind, I really enjoy the day and make the most of it. About one week ahead of time, I make about 10 Irish Soda breads and give them out to friends and family. My bay window in the living room is all decorated in green. My dinner table is decorated in green and white, and I make traditional Corned Beef and Cabbage. But my favorite part of the meal is the corned beef hash I make with the leftover corned beef. Combined with a simple green salad, that is a meal I look forward to every time.

I made your Irish stew for St.Patricks Day. My daughter ate the leftovers 4 times! She even took it for lunch in a thermos. Pretty sure she was the only 8 year old with that for lunch! She said “You definitely need to make this again!”

  I’m so glad she liked it! Since it’s a crockpot recipe, it’s good all year round, too. 🙂
