How to Make 711 Kirkwood's Barley Casserole
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound ground beef (or 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, chopped) and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
- Add 1 medium onion, chopped; 2 carrots, chopped; 2 celery stalks, chopped; and 1 teaspoon dried thyme to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in 1 cup pearl barley, 4 cups beef broth (or vegetable broth for vegetarian option), 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 30-35 minutes, or until barley is tender and liquid is absorbed. Add more broth if needed to achieve desired consistency.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve warm.
