  • 1 can (8 oz) sliced water chestnuts, undrained
  • 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 10-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Add beef and onion; cook in skillet over medium heat 7 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is brown; drain.

    Cover; bake 30 minutes. Stir in frozen vegetables. Cover; bake 30 to 40 minutes longer or until barley is tender.

  • One cup of cooked barley packs about 6 grams of fiber. This virtually fat-free whole grain also contains complex carbohydrates, B vitamins and protein. Look for hulled barley in your coop and you can use that, too.
