PEARL BARLEY CASSEROLE
This is a very tasty way to serve a very healthy grain that is often overlooked. I never use the mushrooms as I don't care for them and often add chopped carrots, red pepper, or grated zucchini.

FRUGAL GOURMET'S BARLEY & MUSHROOM CASSEROLE

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.

Steps:
- 1. In a deep skillet, saute barley in oil until golden brown.
- 2. Slice up your mushrooms and green onions.
- 3. Stir in water, butter, bouillon and seasonings; bring to boil. Remove from the heat; add onions, and mushrooms.
- 4. Transfer to a casserole dish (I use a 1 1/2 quart dish), cover and bake at 350 degrees for 40 - 50 minutes or until the barley is tender. ~~Sometimes I add a few pats of butter and a dash more salt right before serving.
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.

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. This casserole is a great way to use up leftover barley and mushrooms, and it is also a good source of protein and fiber.
