HAMBURGER BARLEY STEW (CROCK POT)
Easy to throw together for a cold, rainy day. Nice and filling when served with a crusty loaf of bread. ETA--often I make this with beef broth instead of the water and bouillon cubes, and I'll often add a can of canned corn as well.

Steps:
- 1. Course chop the onion, celery stalks and carrots. Mince the garlic or feel free to use refrigerated chopped garlic to equal about 3 cloves.
- 2. Place a stock pot or dutch oven over medium heat; crumble the hamburger over the pan and break it up with a spatula. Add the chopped vegetables and continue to stir and chop until the meat is no longer pink. Add the garlic the last minute or so. NOTE: There should be no need to add extra fat; just stay with it and stir often.
- 3. Add the chicken broth, tomatoes, tomato sauce, V8 juice, all the spices and sugar. Stir to combine and return to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, very slow boil and cook covered for one hour.
- 4. After one hour taste the stew and adjust seasonings to taste. Add the barley and cook at a very low boil for one hour, uncovered, keeping a watch and stirring often. NOTE: If the stew gets too thick, you can add a little more V8 or cover the pot for the last part of cooking.
- 5. I served mine with Dree Rummond's Skillet Cornbread that is out of this world! I do, however, cut back on the shortening a bit. You can find the recipe at Food Network or Pioneer Woman website. Link: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ree-drummond/skillet-cornbread-recipe/index.html
Tips:
- Use lean ground beef: This will help to reduce the amount of fat in the stew.
- Brown the beef well before adding it to the stew: This will help to develop the flavor and prevent the beef from becoming tough.
- Use a variety of vegetables in the stew: This will add flavor and nutrients to the dish. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and peas.
- Season the stew well: Use salt, pepper, garlic, and other herbs and spices to taste. You can also add a splash of red wine or Worcestershire sauce for extra flavor.
- Simmer the stew for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and the vegetables to soften.
- Serve the stew with a side of bread or rice: This will help to soak up the delicious broth.
Conclusion:
Hamburger barley stew is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and satisfying hamburger barley stew that your whole family will enjoy.
