One of my favorite meals to make. It's very simple. Traditional St. Patrick's Day meal, or good for other special occasions too.

I grew up just North of Boston in the 40's and 50's. This meal was served at many restuarants as a Thursday special. It is still one of my favorite meals. I usually cook the meat all day in a crockpot but cook the vegetables seperate so I can control their cooking times. Especially the cabbage. The cabbage should be cut in 8ths with the core still attached to hold it together. Cook it carfully for 10 minutes so it doesn't all seperate. It looks good and serves better as an intact wedge.

Great dinner! My husband is from New England and had this all the time when he was a kid. Its simple to make and low maintenance which I love. The other review about the cabbage was VERY helpful so I didn't over cook the cabbage. The coloring was beautiful. Definitely a great Sunday meal which turns Monday into a Black Bean soup and Tuesday into black beans and rice with left overs... basically its 30$ for a weeks worth of dinners, not a bad way to spend your grocery budget!

My family and I love the boiled dinner. I make it very often. I also sprinkle some peppercorns in it, to give it more flavor.

This is always a favorite around here! It's great, maybe even better as leftovers the next day! I take the meat (I prefer Ham) and the veggies and toss them into a large pan with some butter (just to make it healthy) to reheat. It makes an amazing "hash". I start to crave this just as soon at the weather turns cool.

A local restaurant takes it a step further and after making the "Hash" rolls a bit of it into an egg roll wrapper and deep fried it.

Grew up on that, still love it. Craving it now at 3 am.

Love the boiled dinner and yes! the hash afterwards is the best ! Moved to PA 4 years ago and always make this with the ham, the Massachusetts way !!

This is a great meal, I add an onion and some dried mustard, this is a meal you can't stop eating.

Love the New England boiled dinner! My mom reared in Cape Cod Massachusetts, served this meal at least once a month using leftover ham for hash and the bone for Split Pea soup. This one meal typically fed our family of eight for three days and a sandwich or two. Great family meal!!

Mom made this every year after Easter with ham. To stretch it further she added rutabaga and barley. Yum.

I always add some chunks of rutabaga.....

This is a favorite of ours for generations. We grew up in Florida so my mother (from Boston) introduced it to all our friends on Sundays. Great meal and very fond memories.

Grew up loving this meal. I also add fresh green beans and once the meal is ready, I sprinkle a dash of vinegar on my plate. Excellent meal with plenty of left overs.

My mom always adds vinegar, yum!

Misplaced Yankee from New Hampshire, cooked last night, been a long time since I made one. Did with ham and it is soooooo tasty.
