Directions
2 pounds ground beef1/2 cup chopped onion1 clove minced garlic2 cups water16 oz can of tomatoes, undrained, cut up6oz can tomato paste1 1/3 cup pearled barley
Brown beef, onion, and garlic; drain.
Add the rest of the ingredients and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 50-60 minutes or until barley is tender.
I have had a hard time finding pearled barley lately. I have made the recipe with quick cook barley and it works fine. Just reduce the simmering time to about 20-30 minutes, or until the barley is plump and tender.
Enjoy!

This was good and had lots of flavor, but it turned out drier than I expected. My tomatoes were only 14.5oz, so I made up the difference with water, but maybe I simmered it too high or something. I still needed to add another 1/4 cup of water at the end to finish cooking my barley. - 10/15/10
