38 Reviews of Barley Casserole

Recipes like this are worth their weight in gold! Simple, inexpensive, healthy, and, oh yeah, just delicious! I made this in the rice cooker, by cooking the butter (a bit less than called for), onion, and barley together for about 15 minutes, lifting the lid to stir occasionally. Then I added the stock and salsa, covered it, and cooked it. I did not think it needed any extra salt as I used canned stock and commercially prepared salsa. I did need to lift the lid and stir partway through the cooking. I will be making this again and again!

I am not a vegetarian but this was the only course I had for dinner and it was great!! I love barley and this is just another great way to prepare it. So simple and so good.

This barley is NOT bland. A very tasty addition to the same old pasta/rice/potato rotation. The only thing was, this was still a sloppy mess after an hour in the oven. After 90 minutes, I uncovered it and left it in another 15 minutes to get rid of the excess liquid.

Very good! Would go good as a side for mexican dish. It reminded me of Spanish rice. I used salsa picante.

A super recipe. I substituted spaghetti sauce for salso and added a little parmesan on the top the last few minutes. Thanks. Harlynne

Ditto lucy k's review. It was very soupy so I uncovered it and baked it some more. Thanks lucy I thought I had done something wrong. I added garlic with the onions and it came out very tasty. I will definitely be making and experimenting with this one again.

Very good — my kids liked it too. I used 2 T olive oil instead of butter and baked it uncovered for most of the time.

Oh my gosh this was so good, I couldn't believe it was healthy! I substitued a single tablespoon of olive oil for the butter and I added a couple of chicken breasts to make it a full meal. Served with stirfried asparagus. Delicious! Next day I mixed the leftovers with some black olives and kidney beans for a second meal. This was so easy and so good!

Amazing recipe! My fussy eaters scoffed every morsel. I used 1 1/2 of every ingredient, swapped the 4 1/2 TB of butter for 2 TB of olive oil, added a can of peas, corn and carrots, and two chicken breast fillets. In an hour and 15 mins VOILA! a feast. Thank you so much for posting xx
