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

[email protected]This stew was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I will use less cayenne pepper.
