The barley adds a nice touch to this chili and allows you to stretch your beef farther. It absorbs flavours and adds a nutty chewiness while adding fibre. Try to use products with low or no salt. This healthy recipe is from Alberta Health Services. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a variety of beef cuts: This will give your chili a more complex flavor. Consider using a combination of ground beef, chuck roast, and brisket.
  • Brown the beef well: This will help to develop the flavor of the chili. Make sure to brown the beef in batches so that it doesn't steam.
  • Use a good quality beef broth: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your chili. Look for a broth that is made with real beef bones and not just water and flavoring.
  • Add plenty of vegetables: Vegetables will add flavor, texture, and nutrients to your chili. Some good options include onions, peppers, carrots, and celery.
  • Season the chili well: Chili is a hearty dish that can handle a lot of seasoning. Be sure to add plenty of chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder. You can also add other spices to taste, such as paprika, oregano, and cayenne pepper.
  • Let the chili simmer for a long time: This will allow the flavors to develop and meld together. The longer you simmer the chili, the better it will taste.
  • Serve the chili with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include shredded cheese, sour cream, and chopped onions. You can also serve the chili with a side of cornbread or crackers.

Conclusion:

Beef and barley chili is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover beef. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious and satisfying chili that your family and friends will love.
