Somehow barley makes every soup better, and it's the same with this satisfying blend of beef, frozen and fresh vegetables, and simple seasonings.

Expert Tips

Barley is an ancient grain known for its use in Scotch broth, beer and whiskey. Natural food stores and co-ops stock barley in many forms, including flakes similar to oatmeal. This recipe calls for pearl barley, which is sold at grocery stores. Pearl barley has had the husk and bran removed before being steamed and polished.

For easier prep, use 1 pound of cubed beef stew meat in this recipe.

Everyone at Bunco loved this recipe. Several asked for the recipe. Though I didn't take credit for it, I wanted to. I did direct them to the Betty Crocker website. This is a great meal for the upcomming Fall/Winter season. I definately will make it again, but it was lacking onions, and salt.

This is a really great and easy recipe, I used a box (32 oz.) of Beef Broth, instead of the 2 1/2 cups of water and bouillon. It wasn't too much liquid for my taste. I started the Slow Cooker before I went to bed, and by the time I got ready for work the next morning, it was ready and I took it for lunch. It is very thick and hearty, and tasts great. I will deffinatly use this recipe again. I have already shared this recipe with a couple of friends. B.K. New Mexico
