LUCK OF THE IRISH RECIPES
EASY Corn Beef and Cabbage
This dish, which still turns up on some Irish tables at Easter, has become familiar to people of Irish descent as the traditional favorite to serve on
Saint Patrick’s Day.
Ingredients
4 slices bacon
4 tablespoons butter
1 head green cabbage, coarsely chopped
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
1 can corned beef
Instructions
Cook the bacon in large pot over medium heat until almost
crisp. Remove the bacon from the pot and set aside. Melt the butter in the pot with the bacon grease. Add the cabbage, stirring well to coat the cabbage in fat. Add about 1/3 cup water, and salt and pepper, to taste.
Cover pot with a lid, and cook over medium heat for about 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile, chop the bacon into small pieces.
Remove the lid from the pot, and scatter chunks of corned beef and chopped bacon over top of the cabbage. Cover and cook until desired doneness.
Stuffed "Irish" Potatoes
1 bag small red potatoes
8oz. cream cheese - softened
16oz. Oscar Mayer REAL Bacon pieces
1 bunch green onions, diced
Cook potatoes in the microwave, four at time, on your Baked Potato setting - do not puncture. While the pots are still hot, cut in half and use a small spoon to scoop out the inside. Be sure to leave enough potato that it creates a sturdy base (see photo) Try not to tear the skins. I put each pot in a large muffin paper cup.
In a bowl, mix the cream cheese and bacon bits. Fill each skin with the mixture and broil until slightly melted.
Top with scallions and serve!
