Slow Cooker Beef Barley Soup

Slow Cooker Beef Barley Soup
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless lean beef, cubed
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 3 (10.5 ounce) cans beef broth

  • 6 green onions, chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley

Wonderful crust! I used lard with the butter and the crust turned out perfect, even for my husband. His Mom used lard as most of the great Moms did. I kind of worried about doubling the recipe, sometimes it doesn't work. But, 1 pumpkin & 1 fudge pie later, all were happy! Thanks for making our Thanksgiving a lot easier! >^..^<
