Every year for St. Patrick's Day, my wife and I will make an Irish dish or two. It usually ends up being different variations of Shepard's Pie, Bangers & Mash, and Corned Beef & Cabbage. I was always curious about making Coddle, but it seemed daunting. The family recipe that I had seemed like a lot of work, which deterred me. Over the past few months, I became curious about making the Coddle in the slow cooker. Finally, I decided to try it!

What's not to love in a Coddle? It has Irish bacon & sausages, potatoes, carrots(at least in my family), and the optional onion. With a little bit of parsley and pepper, this is such a tasty treat. It will definitely be made again, and again, and again.

This recipe calls for 4 to 5 cups of water. That all depends on what you want. If you want it to be more stew-like, then only use 4 cups. If you want it to be more soupy, then add 5 cups. It is totally up to you.

This is the perfect dish for St. Patrick's Day or any day of the week. I hope that you like it as much as we do. #mycookbook

Enjoy!
