Lately, I have been making supper in the crock pot on Sunday nights. I feel Sundays are perfect for me for having more time to get the ingredients put together and then letting it simmer all day. Today I made homemade Hamburger Barley Soup for Kevin and me. Here's the recipe in case any of you would want a supper idea. It was given to me by a parent at my school.
Hamburger Barley Soup
1 1/2 lbs ground beef or turkey
1 lrg can kidney beans
6 c water
3 beef bouillon cubes
2 c sliced carrots
1 1/2 c coarsely chopped onions
1 1/2 c coarsely chopped celery
1/2 c coarsely chopped green pepper
1/3 c barley
1 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
2 bay leaves
1/4 c ketchup
1 (28 oz) can whole tomatoes, cut up
1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce
Brown meat and drain. In a 5-qt pot or crock pot add meat and stir in remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer one hour or until vegetables and barley are tender. Remove bay leaves (I only added a little amount of bay leave flakes). Makes 10 (1 1/2 cup) servings. Freezes well.
When you make it in the crock pot it needs longer to sit and cook the vegetables. I hope you enjoy!! It's always a success for me when Kevin likes it! :)
