1 lb beef for stew, cut into bite-size pieces
1 medium onion, chopped
2 c red potatoes, cubed
1 c chopped celery
1 c chopped carrots
1 c dried lentils, rinsed
1/2 c medium pearl barley
8 c water
2 tsp beef bouillon granules
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp lemon pepper
2 can(s) (14.5 oz. ea.) stewed tomatoes

Steps:

1. Put the meat into a 5-qt. slow cooker. Layer with onion, potatoes, celery, carrots, lentils, and barley.
2. Combine the water, bouillon, salt and lemon pepper; pour over vegetables. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or until vegetables and barley are tender.
3. Add the tomatoes; cook 2 hours longer.
4. Can use ground beef instead of stew beef. Brown beef with onion before putting in slow cooker. If you have to leave for more than 6 hours, you could add the tomatoes at the start, but use chopped tomatoes instead of stewed.
