Irish Nachos – Delish (Video)

Golden and crispy potatoes piled high with tender corned beef and amazing toppings these Irish Nachos make the perfect appetizer for St. Patrick’s Day! ! I found this recipe on Delish, and I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again – Delish has a TON of amazing recipes, including the one I’m featuring today! I gave their unlimited membership a try last year, so I am speaking from my own (read: they are not paying me for this review) experiences. The membership cost me $20 for the year, and it includes a wonderful year-long subscription to their quarterly magazine filled with delicious (and easy!) recipes, unlimited access to Delish recipes, members-only access to a one-on-one hotline to ask for help from their food editors, and other wonderful bonuses. You can learn more about their membership here; this is a code I found online, as I believe the normal cost is $35/year, but this code looks like you can still get it for $20/year, which is great! I have found it to be extremely useful, although I have not yet taken advantage of their hotline – yet.

For this recipe, I used my handy-dandy Deluxe Multi Cooker  to make the corned beef, and my Half Sheet Pan & Baking Rack Set to roast the potatoes.

Deluxe Multi Cooker

Pressure Cooker, Sous Vide Cooker, Slow Cooker, Yogurt Maker, and Sterilizer

Our pressure cooker offers so many ways to get a delicious meal on the table with minimal effort and perfect results, every time. In addition to quick cooking—fast, flavorful meals cooked up to 70% faster than other methods even from frozen—and no-fuss slow cooking so it does it thing while you’re doing yours, you can sous vide, the secret to restaurant-quality steaks, fish, and more. With sous vide, you pick the temperature, and it cooks to the exact doneness you love, every time! No more under-cooked centers and overcooked outsides. After your food reaches your perfect doneness, it can stay put for up to two hours without overcooking, giving you lots of wiggle room for serving. Plus, there is a yogurt function so you can make homemade yogurt with just two ingredients and less than 5 minutes of hands-on time, and you can even sterilize bottles and utensils. All of this without ever turning on the oven!

Confident Cooking

With 16 preprogrammed settings at your fingertips, you can cook everything from meat, rice, and beans to desserts minus the guesswork. Some added features include an indicator that shows at-a-glance progress of preheating, cooking, and warming so you always know the status of what you’re making and two lid rest slots on the back so you can securely rest the lid on the Deluxe Multi Cooker instead of your counter. The steam release button is safely positioned to keep your hands away from any steam and the outside of the unit stays cool even while in use.

Ingredients

For Corned Beef

  • 2-3 pounds corned beef
  • 1/3 cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoon packed brown sugar
  • 12 ounces Guinness Stout
  • 4 pounds medium Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1/2″ thick rounds
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup shredded yellow cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded white cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 (15-oz.) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
  • Pickled jalapeños for garnish
  • Freshly chopped chives for garnish

Instructions

For the Corned Beef:

In a small bowl, combine mustard and brown sugar. Brush all over corned beef brisket.

Place corned beef in steamer basket of the Deluxe Multi Cooker with Guiness Stout, set to CUSTOM, 90 minutes. Press button to start. Once timer goes off, allow pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes.  Press steam button to release any additional pressure, and remove corned beef to cutting board.

Allow corned beef to rest an additional 10 minutes, then shred.

For the Potatoes

Wash potatoes, then slice, unpeeled, into 1/2″ thick rounds. Place slices into a large pot of cold water, ensuring that they are cover completely.  Bring to a boil over high heat. Boil only until just tender, about 5 minutes.  To test this, inserting a knife into the middle of a potato should meet with a bit of resistance.  Drain and dry on baking rack or with paper towels.

Preheat oven to 425°F/220⁰C.

Line two sheet pans with foil. Place potatoes in a single layer divided evenly between both pans.  Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with oregano, garlic, salt and pepper, coating both sides of potatoes.

Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden and crisp.

One on of the sheet pans, bring the potatoes together in a mound.  Top with half of both cheeses, red onion, beans, and shredded corned beef. Top with potatoes from the other tray, adding remaining cheese, red onions, beans, and corned beef. Place tray back in oven and bake an additional 5 minutes, until cheese is melted.

Combine sour cream and horseradish in a small bowl.

Remove nachos from oven, and top with dollops of sour cream, pickled jalapeños, and chives.

That’s it! I hope that you’ll give this a try, and please leave a comment to let me know what you think about this recipe. I would love to hear from you. Let’s make great food together!

Slow Cooker Corned Beef and Cabbage – The Magical Cooker (video)

Tender and seasoned corned beef pairs with potatoes, carrots, and cabbage to make an outstanding dinner for St. Patrick’s Day!! 

I found this recipe from Sarah over at The Magical Slow Cooker. You can learn more about Sarah here.  This was my first time making corned beef in a slow cooker.  Last year, I shared how to make Sous Vide Corned Beef and Cabbage, and since we’ve just come out with our Rockcrok®Digital Slow Cooker Stand, I thought I would try it this way.  It was fabulous, and oh-so easy!

Here’s some info about our Rockcrok®Digital Slow Cooker Stand, which pairs with the Rockcrok® Dutch Oven:

Rockcrok®Digital Slow Cooker Stand

Slow Cook & Keep Warm

Take your Rockcrok® Dutch Oven or Everyday Pan and turn it into a slow cooker with the Rockcrok® Digital Slow Cooker Stand. The slow cooker lets you cook food on your own time, or easily transfer it from the oven or stovetop directly into the stand to keep it warm. Control the temperature and timing of your food with the stand’s digital display and keep your cabinets tidy with compact cord storage for when you aren’t using the stand. Two inset handles make lifting easy, and the stand even wipes clean for simple cleanup.

Rockcrok® Dutch Oven

COOK ANY MEAL FOR A CROWD

The Rockcrok® Dutch Oven is the perfect size for cooking for a crowd, and unlike other types of ceramic cookware, you can use Rockcroks® right away without needing to preseason. The large Rockcrok® Dutch Oven perfect for anything—appetizers, bread, casseroles, braised meats, soups, and more! You’ll never run out of possibilities with this durable, versatile piece.

Rockcrok® Collection

Calling our Rockcrok® Collection versatile is an understatement. It’s made from durable, high-quality clay that’s heat-safe to 752°F (400°C), so you can sear, braise, simmer, slow cook, fry, boil, bake, broil, microwave, and grill in one pan. Rockcrok® pieces transfer effortlessly from freezer to stovetop to oven and back again, all while creating savory roasts, crisp crusts, moist cakes, and one-pot wonders. Since they’re dishwasher-safe, you’ll find reasons to use these lightweight alternatives to cast-iron cookware every day.

Ricotta Cheese – She Loves Biscotti (Video)

Creamy and delicious, this ricotta cheese takes only three ingredients to make and is ready in no time!  This wonderful recipe comes from Maria over at She Loves Biscotti.  You can learn more about Maria here.  I will be checking out more of her delicious recipes, as this one was perfect!!

To make it even easier, I used my Deluxe Cooking Blender:

Best Blender for Smoothies—and Soup!

Blenders aren’t just for smoothies anymore. Our innovative blender has settings that heat up to 220˚F (104˚C), which means it doesn’t just blend—it cooks.

With a cooking blender, you can make everything from smoothies and milkshakes to soups, jams, alternative milks, and nut butters. With eight preprogrammed settings and two custom settings, there’s no guesswork. The pitcher has a 6-cup capacity for hot food and 7-cup capacity for cold food, and comes with a tamper, dual-sided cleaning brush, strainer bag, boil-over guard, and a cooking guide with more than 60 recipes.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups whole milk do NOT used ultra-pasteurized/ultra-filtered milk

Add first TWO ingredients, in the order listed to the Deluxe Cooking Blender. Replace and lock the lid. Push the wheel to get to the CUSTOM HEAT setting.  Turn wheel to select 185°F/85⁰C.  Push the wheel again to set the timer to 00:00 minutes. Press the wheel to start.
