🍀 “Bless us with good food, the gift of gab and hearty laughter.  May the love and joy we share, be with us ever after!” 🍀- Irish Kitchen Prayer

Rate this post

Hi there,

I am going to paraphrase an old Irish song, if your Irish come into the kitchen, I’m going to share dinner with you.

BRISKET

Ingredients:

  • One large beef brisket (5-8 lbs; about 1/2 lb per person + extra 2 lbs w leftovers)
  • 2 bottles Heinz Chili Sauce
  • 1 envelope dry onion soup mix
  • 1/2 bottle red wine
  • 2-3 large onions sliced

Directions:

  • put the brisket in the bottom of your slow cooker
  • add all of the ingredients.
  • cook 10 hours on high

Special Note: As you can see this is a super easy way to make brisket. I always serve this with some horseradish on the side. If you don’t have 10 hours just cook over the course of two days. Cook one day for 5 and the next day for 6. Add the extra hour to allow the slow cooker to come up to the right temperature.

ROASTED CABBAGE

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Coat a sheet pan with cooking spray.
  • Place the cabbage pieces in a single layer on the pan. Drizzle the olive oil over the top. 
  • Season the cabbage with the salt, pepper and garlic powder.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until cabbage is browned and tender.
  • Drizzle the lemon juice over the top. Sprinkle with parsley, then serve.

NANCY’S STACKED POTATOES

Stacked potatoes
Spray a 12 cup muffin tin lightly with cooking spray. Preheat oven to 375
Slice  scrubbed Yukon Gold potatoes very thin ( use a mandoline if you have one)
In a small bowl mix 2T butter and 2T olive oil; add minced garlic, herbs of choice minced finely. Salt and Pepper 1/4 t each.
Add potato slices to bowl and stir to coat.
Begin layering potatoes in each tin.
Try to have 8-10 slices in each.
Bake for 30 minutes, remove from oven and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese( if desired)
Return to oven . Bake for 15 more minutes until desired crispness is reached.
Spoon each stack onto a plate and serve immediately.

      • Ha!Ha! I eat corned beef once a year and have leftovers for a sandwich or two or maybe a breakfast casserole. I know about those sneaky Leprechauns being part Irish 🙂

    Those potatoes look amazing! I will have to try that. Thanks and Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

  2. Dorothy's New Vintage Kitchen – I'm a writer, cook, gardener, photographer, poet, quilter, and accomplished daydreamer. I'm also a wife, mother, grandmother, sister. cousin, aunt, and friend, no particular order on any given day. I've been a writer all my life, newspaper reporter and columnist, radio news writer, and magazine contributor, and poet and short-story writer as the spirit moves. Now, I turn my attention to my cookbook, the blog, and a cooking column "Memorable Meals," which runs in our county newspaper. Besides my family, I love dogs, cats, good coffee, and my never-dwindling pile of books I intend to read. Our family ran a small Vermont Inn for 18 years, with our focus on local, organic ingredients. After many years of daily serving up of our local delicacies, cooking classes, and catering, we are now only open for special events, and the odd cooking class as the spirit moves me. We also host musicians and artists, having helped produce a musical festival and other musical events for nearly 20 years. Many incredible artists have found a place at our table. Wonderful experiences, we will treasure always. My family and friends are my practice subjects. With a family that includes nut, peanut, tree fruit, and vegetable allergies, gluten intolerance, dairy intolerance, vegetarians, vegans, heart conscious, and a couple of picky eaters, there has to be a few quick tricks in the book to keep everyone fed and happy! Personally, I do not eat red meat or most dairy (usually) for health reasons, making the occasional exception at Thanksgiving and Christmas or our anniversary if the duck is locally raised. I do eat fish and seafood, so I try to come up with alternatives and substitutions when available. I serve local organic eggs and cheeses to my family who can tolerate dairy (My husband recently had a heart attack, and I need to watch my own cholesterol so I am careful, but have been known to let a little piece of really good cheese accidentally fall on my plate!). I believe strongly that eating in a way that is good for our planet is also good for our bodies! I cook by the seasons and draw on inspiration from the strong and talented women in my family who came before me, as well as the youth in the family who look at the world with fresh eyes. Food links us all, whether sharing a meal, cooking it together, or writing about it for others to enjoy. I love taking an old recipe and giving it a modern spin, especially if I can make it a littler healthier and use foods that are kinder to the Earth and to our bodies. I believe strongly in sustainable, delicious eating of whole foods, and the wonderful flavors we have at our fingertips! And finally, I love conversing with all the talented cooks and chefs out there who dot the globe! It's a wonderful, world full of culinary pen pals, and I cherish them all! XXXOOO Dorothy

  5. The potatoes look yummy, Bernadette! My mother used to make scalloped potatoes, which remind me a bit of the stacked ones. Hope you and your family are doing well!

    • These potatoes do taste a little like scalloped potatoes but have a real jazzy look to them. We are all well Jen, thank you, just waiting for spring. Hope all is good with you and yours. I do a feature in May celebrating mothers. Do you have a story and a recipe you would like to contribute?

  6. Bern, these recipes are wonderful! I love how you’ve provided 3 different recipes instead of just one with all the ingredients schmooshed together. Everything sounds delicious! Once again, you’ve WOWed me.

  7. Love those stacked potatoes! I think simple is always best when it comes to seasoning them, and the stacks make them perfectly portioned for serving!

  8. CarolCooks2 – Udon Thani – Enjoying life in The Land Of Smiles I am having so much fun researching, finding new, authentic recipes both Thai and International to share with you. New recipes gleaned from those who I have met on my travels or are just passing through and stopped for a while. I hope you enjoy them. I love shopping at the local markets, finding fresh, natural ingredients, new strange fruits and vegetable ones I have never seen or cooked with. I am generally the only European person and attract much attention and I love to try what I am offered and when I smile and say Aroy or Saab as it is here in the north I am met with much smiling. Some of my recipes may not be in line with traditional ingredients and methods of cooking but are recipes I know and have become to love and maybe if you dare to try you will too. You will always get more than just a recipe from me as I love to research and find out what other properties the ingredients I use contain to improve our health and wellbeing. This is now taking me into other areas like deforestation, chemicals and preservatives in the food chain. Exciting for me hence the title of my blog, Retired No One Told Me! I am having a wonderful ride and don’t want to get off, so if you wish to follow me on my adventures, then welcome! I hope you enjoy the ride also and if it encourages you to take a step into the unknown or untried, you know you want to…….Then, I will be happy!

    It all looks so delicious, Bern… Wonderful!

  9. Your brisket looks so good and super easy! I just cut up a brisket and made beef jerky with it, next time I need to try it this way. Thank you Bernadette!

  10. Hi Karen, thanks for stopping by. I agree! As a matter of fact if you swap out cabbage for coleslaw, this would make a great Easter dinner.

  11. the Painted Apron – Life is all about creativity for me, as long as I'm creating something I am happy! I hope I will inspire your daily life and give you ideas for your own wonderful creations!

    The brisket sounds amazing, I definitely want to make that! Thanks Bernadette!

    D. Wallace Peach says:

    Oh goodie, Bernadette. I bought two briskets and two cabbages. I made one according to the instructions on the wrapper… boiled brisket and boiled cabbage. Needless to say, your version sounds much much better! Ha ha. So I’m going to use your recipes sometime this week (need to get some chili sauce first). Thanks so much for the recipe and I hope you had a wonderful St. Pat’s Day. Hugs.

        D. Wallace Peach says:

        We had this last night, Bernadette, and it was wonderful. No more plain old “boiled brisket out of the bag” for the Peach family anymore. This will be our go-to recipe. And the cabbage… best ever. That was fabulous. We eat a cabbage a week and this recipe was simple and delish. We couldn’t stop commenting on our cabbage. Lol. Thanks!

      • 💋💋💋You are the best reviewer I have ever met. If I ever publish anything, I am drafting you to write the introduction. So glad you both enjoyed the recipe.
