This year, I decided to do something different and am making an Irish Dublin Coddle recipe for dinner. Irish Dublin Coddle is a traditional Irish dish that’s made of sausage, potatoes, bacon, and onions. According to what I’ve found online, it dates back to at least the early eighteenth century (the 1700s).

Irish Dublin Coddle is typically served with Irish Soda Bread but since we are trying to go gluten-free, we’ll simply enjoy it on its own. If you’re following the Paleo diet, you can eliminate potatoes from your serving.

This is one of my favorite Irish sausage recipes. Scroll to the end for a printable version.

You could probably make this in your slow cooker if you wanted to eliminate browning the sausage and just toss it all in your slow cooker for 8 hours or so on low.

You wouldn’t get the seared flavor from browning the sausage and the bacon but it would be quicker if you’ll be gone all day and want dinner on the table when you’re home.

Finally, if you want an authentic Irish Dublin coddle be sure to cook it in a cast-iron pan as I’ve shown to get the best flavor.

What are some traditional Irish meals?

If you want a few more traditional Irish meals, you could make the shepherd’s pie I have linked to below. Or, you can try the Banoffee pie that’s a bit below that.

Other ideas include things like bacon and cabbage with potatoes. Or, you might like an Irish stew made with lamb or mutton. 

What is Ireland’s national dish?

So, if you want the national dish of Ireland, that would be Irish stew. It is traditionally made with lamb or mutton as I mentioned above.

But, you could make it with beef if your family doesn’t enjoy lamb or you cannot find mutton. Make sure that you have a thick slice of Irish soda bread along with it.

    • I used some from a local farm. It was just a mild pork sausage. I'd imagine anything like that should work. Thanks for stopping by!

  4. Thanks for posting this recipe. If you'd like to use a slow cooker, you can brown the bacon and sausage the night before, then assemble everything in your slow cooker in the morning. It looks prettier and tastes better, IMO.

  5. This looks great Ellen! I don't like corned beef and cabbage at all, so I'm always looking for a St. Pat's meal that isn't that or Shepard's Pie. We are totally making your recipe this year!
