I am making this for tonight's supper. I started it before 7, but by noon, the potatoes still weren't done. I also added sliced carrots, which were also not done after 4 hours. I wasn't worried about it, though, since I didn't plan to serve it until dinner. I didn't brown the meat first and did add some beef base for additional flavor along with the salt and pepper and a bit of Adobo seasoning and paprika. I sampled it at lunch (minus the uncooked carrots and potatoes) and it really was good. Oh, and I didn't have barley, so I substituted rice in the same quantity, and I used diced white onions instead of green onions. Next time I might use pasta. It's totally worth trying and using as a canvas for other ideas!

Okay, I am not one for giving bad reviews, but after I made this, I went back and re-read the whole recipe, and I didn't leave anything out. Just a bad combination of good ingredients. AND, when I cooked it on low for 4 hours as directed, the potatoes were not done and the barley was still crunchy. NOT a keeper.

This is pretty good and really hearty. I did make a couple changes. First, I used 4-6 oz sirloin steaks, cut up, instead of ground beef. I used 3 large potatoes and I added a 6 oz. can of V8 and a bay leaf. I think it could have used a couple more of the steaks but my crock pot wouldn't hold that much.
