Despite its status as a classic comfort food, there’s nothing comforting about the many steps and dishes that [Shepherd’s Pie]( usually requires; we put our [cast-iron skillet]( to work to streamline the process. For [Corned Beef and Cabbage]( that doesn’t have to cure for days, we use the steady, gentle heat of the [slow cooker]( to get moist, tender corned beef and perfectly cooked vegetables. Finally, our [Brown Soda Bread]( has no yeast, no rising time, and almost no kneading or shaping, so it’s ready to go into the oven after just 10 minutes of work. Check out [some folklore, fun facts, and recipe tips]( about soda bread that you can put to use this Saint Patrick’s Day (and, really, any time of the year).

Flour, chicken broth, and Worcestershire sauce are all that we need to create a rich gravy, and a final addition of green peas adds a pop of freshness. To give our potato topping needed structure, we add egg, milk, and butter. [view recipe]( FREE FOR TWO DAYS Slow-Cooker Corned Beef and Cabbage Dinner The key to success for this recipe is the placement of the ingredients in the slow cooker. We put the meat in first, sprinkle the pickling spice over it, and place the potatoes and carrots between the meat and the wall of the slow cooker. This arrangement gives us enough room to add the cabbage from the get-go, rather than at the end of cooking. [view recipe]( FREE FOR TWO DAYS Brown Soda Bread Toasted wheat germ bumps up the sweet, nutty flavor of the whole wheat and adds texture. Baking powder, in addition to the traditional baking soda, guarantees a hearty—not heavy—loaf. A touch of sugar and a few tablespoons of butter keep our bread wholesome but not health-foody, and brushing a portion of the melted butter on the loaf after baking gives it a rich crust.
