Easy and Simple Beef Barley Stew in the Slow Cooker
During busy season at work in the fall and winter, this recipe is basically me throwing everything tasty in my crockpot with some beef and water, hoping it'll be a stew when I get home. It hasn't done me wrong yet. Note that I'm allergic to onions, this recipe doesn\'t have any. I hear that onions are tasty in recipes such as these, feel free to add as much as you\'d like, but you\'re on your own. I add 1/4 teaspoon aesofetida powder (a speciality Indian spice that serves as an onion substitute) to mimic that taste. I've omitted that from the ingredients, either add the powder or onion as you see fit.
