  1. This sounds amazing. My youngest son’s half birthday is on St. Patrick’s day, so we always make sure to celebrate. This may just be the right meal to have. I want to “cook ahead” for Saturday as I will just be getting back from the Hearts at Home conference.

    1. Morgan-
      I personally haven’t tried to crock pot, but with the slow cooking over the 2 1/2 hours, I don’t see why you couldn’t try. Just note that the meat isn’t fully cooked when you begin the cooking process, so make sure that it is cooked through and tender before you serve. Let me know how it turns out if you do go the crock pot route!

  2. This sounds yummy! But are the measurements right? 3 whole red onions seems like so much, and only 4 mushrooms seems like so little in comparison. But maybe I just need to roll with it… 😉

    1. Libby-
      The red onions really cook down and they aren’t super overpowering. Depending on the size, of course. If you are worried – just use a smaller onion or cut down to 2.
      Enjoy! And Happy St. Pats!

  3. Hi,I’m making this but the store was out of Guinness :(. I have a Waterloo Dark beer (not lager) would that work?

    1. Jaki –
      I am not familiar with Waterloo Dark Beer – but I would say if it’s all you have – give it a try! Let us know how it turns out!

  4. I made this today and we are looking forward to eating it for dinner tonight! It smells wonderful and my first taste was delicious! I used a bag of pre-cut organic stew veggies from New Seasons to cut down on prep time, which included potatoes and thyme. Very easy stew!
