I love my crockpot. Nothing better then smelling the aroma of supper cooking on a cold day…or a day where there are evening activities and not much time to cook. Hmmm come to think of it any day I smell supper simmering away is a good day!
This casserole is surprisingly delightful. We love barley and this dish a perfect accompaniment to pork or ham….although husband indicated it would be great with ice cream!
As this is a kid friendly recipe consider getting the kids involved with helping…they can dice, slice and toss into the slow cooker!
