BARLEY AND MUSHROOM CASSEROLE

This is my number #1 favorite barley dish. I can make a meal out of this and have it for our "Meatless Monday's" because it is so filling.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of mushrooms to add depth of flavor to your casserole. Try using a combination of cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms.
  • Cook the barley in vegetable broth instead of water for a more flavorful dish.
  • Add a splash of white wine or beer to the casserole for a richer flavor.
  • Top the casserole with a layer of cheese before baking for a golden, crispy crust.
  • Serve the casserole with a side of roasted vegetables or a green salad.

Conclusion:

Barley and mushroom casserole is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own tastes. Experiment with different types of mushrooms, vegetables, and cheeses to create a casserole that is unique and delicious.
