Perfect! I can only eat leftovers about 2 times and then I'm done so after celebrating St. Paddy's day 3 times I was wondering what I'd do with all my leftovers...this fit the bill! So easy, dumped it all in, let it simmer all afternoon and finished it with just a little heavy cream (what I had on hand leftover from Irish Coffees)...served it tonight with crusty bread and I'm excited for lunch tomorrow. Thanks SO much for posting...my new post St. Paddy's day tradition!
