Lord Honey, I'm about to give Mulligan Stew a face-lift--literally--she just ain't gonna look the same. If you've ever made this traditional Irish stew--I think you'll find this a little easier--and if you've never made it at all--just go with my "pot-pie take" from the get-go.
"Mulligan Stew Pot Pie"
From the hoppy flavor of the beer, to the rich broth, chunky tators and crusty, braided-bread topping, it'll make "ya feel like a Leprechaun dancing an Irish jig."
