Recipes Side Dish Grain Side Dish Recipes Pearl Barley Casserole 4.6 (33) 26 Reviews 6 Photos This pearl barley casserole is a very tasty way to serve a very healthy grain that is often overlooked. I never use the mushrooms as I don't care for them and often add chopped carrots, red pepper, or grated zucchini.
