Cut meat into neat pcs. and trim away as much fat as possible.
Cut rind from bacon and cut into 1" pcs. Pare potatoes and slice onions. Place layer of meat in heavy stewpan. Add layer of bacon, onion and potatoes. Sprinkle with seasoning. Repeat layers, finishing with potatoes. Add water and let it come slowly to boil.
Remove andy scum that forms. Cover closely and simmer gently for abt.
2½ hrs. Potatoes should be cooked to a pulp. (You can do this in crock pot: bring to boil on HI and then reduce to LO and let it simmer ALL day...put it on Friday morning before you got to work and have it for St. Patricks' Day supper!! Traditional Irish Stew was made with spare-ribs. Some use mutton or lamb...I prefer pork.
