    2 lbs beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes

    1 tablespoon vegetable oil

    1 large onion, chopped

    2 cloves garlic, minced

    3 carrots, sliced

    2 stalks celery, sliced

    1 parsnip or turnip, peeled and diced (optional)

    1 cup pearl barley

    8 cups beef broth

    Season with salt and pepper to taste. Discard the bay leaf before serving.

    Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm with crusty bread.

  • Mexican Pizza

    Crispy Mexican-Style Pizza with Seasoned Beef and Refried Beans

    Ingredients:

    1/2 pound ground beef

    1 tablespoon taco seasoning

    1/3 cup water

    4 flour tortillas (8-inch)

    1/2 cup refried beans

    1/2 cup salsa or enchilada sauce

    1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

    1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

    1/4 cup diced tomatoes

    2 tablespoons sliced black olives

    2 tablespoons chopped green onions

    Olive oil spray or brush-on

    Directions:

    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray or brush tortillas with olive oil and bake on a baking sheet for 5–7 minutes per side until crisp. Set aside.

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat. Stir in taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 3–4 minutes until thickened.

    Warm refried beans slightly to make them easier to spread. Spread a thin layer over two crisped tortillas.

    Top each with half of the seasoned beef, then place the other tortillas on top to form pizza "sandwiches."

    Spread salsa or enchilada sauce over the top of each. Sprinkle with cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses.

    Add diced tomatoes, olives, and green onions over the cheese.

    Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

    Slice and serve with sour cream, guacamole, or hot sauce if desired.
