LOVE it! Even the picky 5 and 2 year olds loved it. Used Guinness as my dark beer, organic, grass-fed beef and kale instead of cabbage.

Excellent recipe! I used Guiness and some extra seasonings on the meat. I also simmered it with the lid on for several hours and the meat was melt-in-your-mouth tender! I took this to a St Patrick's Day dinner and it was a huge hit! Next time I am going to save myself a huge amount of time by buying stew meat that is already cut up! Thanks for sharing this recipe!

Wonderful flavor, wonderful aroma. I used beer I had on had instead of dark beer, but it's hard to imagine this could taste any better than it did. I've never reviewed anything on this site before, but this is so good I had to rate it. My husband, who usually just eats what's put before him, raved about it too.

Made this for St. Patrick's Day instead of my usual corned beef and cabbage......the guys said I didn't make enough. It was a big hit and so easy to make. The flavors were so wonderful together. I'll be making this more than once a year.

Sooooo good! Used the slow cooker, so I did have to add two cups of beef broth to keep the veggies under liquid the entire cooking time (7 hours on low). Then I thickened it at the end with some flour because we like a thicker stew. It was amazing! The colcannon was delicious as written! Used the leftovers for shepherd's pie after adding some peas. Two meals in one! Who could ask for more? Try this recipe!!

My only complaint about this was there wasn't enough!!! OMG this was sooo good! The meat was incredibly tender, it melted in my mouth. There was five of us and the whole thing totally disappeared! I also used guiness - no trouble with bitterness. I think this was better than corn beef and cabbage. I added a couple of tablespoons of sour cream to the colcannon to enhance the creaminess. Deliciousness!

So delicious! Very Rich flavor. I added an additional 6 oz. of Guinness, then at the end of cooking, tightened up the sauce with a cornstartch and cold water slurry. The sauce was so silky! Highly recommend this recipe. Made it for a potluck and not only did it get RAVE reviews, but the dishes came home empty!

Made this on St. Patrick's day since my husband is not a corned beef fan, and I am really glad I did. Such a wonderful and flavorful dish and the beef was unbelievably tender. Also loved the colcannnon! I made it almost exactly as written except I added a bit more milk and salt to the colcannon. I also added a little corn starch to the beef liquid to make it more gravy consistency. I used Harp Irish beer for the beef and it worked well. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe. My husband does not want me to wait until next St. Patricks Day to make this again!

I made this in my pressure cooker for St. Patrick's day! It was wonderful. I cooked the stew for 20 min. at 15psi after browning the beef and then I cooked the diced potatoes and chopped kale in the pressure cooker for 6min. on a steamer with one cup of water. I did omit the bacon! I am in love with this kale potato recipe! And I will not save it for just St. Patrick's day! This is going in my regular menu! Thanks for a great recipe.

This turned out well for my St. Patty's dinner but I would add the following chances. I added 4 carrots total and still would add more, if you want more gravy at the end of cooking, then add 2 c. of half beef broth, half chicken broth and leave the lid on while it cooks in the oven. I only had 1/2 c at most with 1 c.
