I recently checked out a book from the library, "3-Ingredient Slow Cooker Comfort Foods", by authors Robert and Carol Hildebrand.

I haven't made this one yet, but it sounds good, and even better, easy!

2 lbs stew beef
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cups pearl barley
1 (16 oz) package frozen broccoli, cauliflower, and carrot mix

Cut the stew beef into smaller pieces and put them into the slow cooker. Season with salt and pepper. Add the barley and 8 cups water. Cook for 6 hours on low. Stir, using the spoon to shred the beef. Add the vegetables and cook for 2 hours more. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.

6 to 8 servings.
