Boston Brown Bread Recipe | St. Patricks Day | Homemade Bread

This is a recipe for Boston Brown Bread, a New England favorite.  Serve all fall and winter together with some homemade soup or franks and beans for an old-fashion Saturday night supper.

Boston Brown Bread

Of course, most old-time New England folk serve the traditional IIrish Soda Bread along with their favorite corned beef and cabbage dinners or Shepard's Pie on St. Patrick's Day. I also have another Breadmaker Irish Soda Bread that's delish, too.

It has really been rough trying to find Brown Bread, either with or without raisins in the grocery stores.  It was a favorite of our with Hot Dogs and Beans (Saturday night supper) when I was growing up.

When I was growing up, we always had Boston Brown Bread and Hot Dogs and Baked Beans as a supper about once a month.

This easy recipe for homemade bread can be whipped up in just about an hour!

Serve with a side dish of your favorite Baked Beans recipe, or as a dipping bread along with my Irish Pub Corned Beef Dip recipe !

Baked Bean Casserole | Slow Cooker

New England Boston Baked Bean Casserole recipe with you. It was shared by a co-worker, and I use it all year long - it's great for summer picnics, barbecues, or you could make and take to brunch or holiday gatherings!

Baked Beans Casserole

If you'd like, it tastes delicious with a bit of New England Maple Syrup added too!

One of the best things I like about living in New England is Fall. I enjoy everything about it - the changing colors of the foliage; the sound of crisp leaves crunching under my feet as I take an evening walk; the smell of wood stoves burning; and trips to the cider mills.

Also right up there are comfort foods - which to me means casseroles and slow cookers!

New England Baked Bean Casserole

This baked bean recipe is a family favorite !  When I was a young girl, my mom would dice up hot dogs and cook in the baked beans and that would be our New England Supper, a hot dog casserole served with Boston Brown Bread !

Awhile back I had the opportunity to help vote for the Betty Crocker Casseroles dish magazine.  There were so many great recipes in there from all over the country.  This baked bean recipe, however, is a family favorite.  What's more New England than franks and beans on St. Patrick's Day?

I like to bring these baked beans in a crockpot to keep warm at parties.  They're always a hit, and go fast !  Easy to transport, too.
