I really enjoyed this recipe. Careful, it is really rich (fogedabout calories!) but this is just the taste I was looking for. I wish I would have cut the recipe in half as it was way too much. I used canned, grated parmesian/asiago & it was a bit too salty but quite cheesy.

Mmm-mm good. I used beef stew meat instead. Only used 1/2 c lentils with the barley & this was more than enough for 2 kids, hubby & me. 7 oz of stewed tomatoes gave enough flavor though more would have been ok.

While this probably isn't the most healthy meal, even for a crockpot, I was surprised to find this odd combination to be tastey! Leave out the FF onions & it's a kid-pleaser. I used 1/4 tsp salt & Healthy Request cr. mushroom, I also improvised using powdered milk, shredded cheese, onion flakes and 1/2 frozen tater tots with the hash browns,neither of which were thawed but no problems. I added a can of corn & the cheese at the end. My husband loves food like this.
