I'm not a big fan of spicy food, so I usually omit the cayenne pepper.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover red beans. I usually make a big pot of red beans on the weekend and then use the leftovers to make this dish during the week.

This slow-cooker red beans and barley dish was a hit with my family! The barley added a nice chewy texture and the red beans were perfectly creamy. I'll definitely be making this again.
