Here in the mitten, it's been a frigid winter - we're talking a high of 9 degrees yesterday! People here are excited that it's going back into the 20's as a "warm up." So to help beat the winter chill, I have been making my share of meals in the Crock Pot, anything from homemade Soups, Chili and Stews!
One Crock Pot Meal provides enough food for most of the week, saving time during busy workdays, it makes 2-3 dinners plus enough to take to work for lunch. Plus, you just throw everything in the pot and it cooks itself all day, creating not only a warm winter meal, but a wonderful aroma in your home.
This week my mom requested Beef Barley Soup. She recounted the recipe from memory, and I made it perfectly!
Mom's Beef Barley Soup
64 oz. Beef Stock
2-3 Stalks Celery - Chopped
1/4 Red Onion - Chopped
3 Potatoes - Chopped
Sliced Fresh Carrots
3/4 Cup Barley
1 pkg pre-cut Stewing Beef
Salt & Pepper To Taste
All you have to do is brown the meat, then chop everything up and put it in the crock pot for about 6 hours! Done.
