HAMBURGER BARLEY STEW (CROCK POT)

Hamburger Barley Stew (Crock Pot) image

Easy to throw together for a cold, rainy day. Nice and filling when served with a crusty loaf of bread. ETA--often I make this with beef broth instead of the water and bouillon cubes, and I'll often add a can of canned corn as well.
