That beef barley soup looks amazing, unbelievable
Can pearl barley be used in place of pot barley in this recipe? Any adjustments as to time cooked?
This recipe looks yummy. I’ll definitely be making it this weekend.
Just made it, it was great, meat a little tuff, but my fault, you said add broth and simmer, should have thought that would possibly be add broth and meat, simmer 90 minutes? How long do you simmer the meat?
Great soup, but no directions regarding when to add the browned beef. Added it in with the broth, simmered for 50 minutes. It was delicious!
Cooking the apples for the applesauce and thawing out the apple cider.
The biscuits and butternut squash pasta were delicious.
