Beef & Barley Stew
October 26, 2009 in soup
I made a beef and barley soup last winter and we really enjoyed it but then for some reason I never thought about it again. I stumbled upon a recipe recently and decided I would make another one as soon as it got cold. This time I filled it with veggies and it was absolutely delicious. It’s not often that I look forward to leftovers but I had this stew for lunch for 3 days!
I served it with the honey yeast rolls and they were perfect together. My husband opened up the rolls and put a little stew in the middle.. said it was amazing!

This looks delicious! I’ve been trying to use the slow cooker more to cut down on evening chaos, and this is definitely going on my to-try list.
Made this stew tonight– delicious! Definitely going on my winter rotation!
