Beef Barley Stew in the Crock Pot is the perfect dish for this cold weather that's here!!! It's warm, hearty and super easy! The beef becomes so tender it melts in your mouth! Another option would be Venison too! I've used both and they both become very tender and delicious!
This stew is also freezable and makes a great freezer meal. Prepare a double batch and freeze the extra batch for an even easier meal on those busy or "don't feel like cooking" nights.
Serve it up with some yummy Easy Peasy Garlic Bread for dipping and a small side salad. Enjoy!!
