Directions
In researching this Irish recipe I found that as with most historic staples, there are as many ways to make it as there are grandmothers with kitchens.
I combined my favorite things from several different recipes. The result is every bit as delicious as the fictional Irish immigrants led me to believe.
More importantly, three teenagers and a husband gave it 5 stars.
