Directions
Brown beef in pan. Saute onions, garlic and mushrooms in pan. Place all in a crock pot for 8 hours on low, I usually do this the night before I plan on serving.

The next day, combine all the rest of the ingredients in a very large pan. Add the beef mixture that was cooked overnight in the crock pot. Cook on medium heat till barley and green beans are cooked through. Sometimes I have varied this with different combinations of spices such as cumin and chili powder. I have also used brussel sprouts instead of the cabbage.

I usually serve this in coffee mugs. So it is about 12 ouzes a serving.
