Ready In
- Heat 2 cups water to boiling in a microwave-safe bowl, about 2 minutes. Stir beef bouillon cubes and onion soup mix into boiling water until dissolved.
- Pour bouillon mixture and remaining 4 cups water into a slow cooker; set cooker on High. Stir beef, potatoes, onion, carrots, celery, and garlic into the slow cooker.
- Cook, covered, until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, 4 1/2 to 5 hours. Stir barley into beef mixture; continue cooking until barley is tender, about 30 minutes.
- Turn slow cooker off, remove cover, and allow to cool until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
Footnotes
- Cook's Note:
- Season to taste with pepper, and for that extra special touch... why not heat up some buns in the oven and serve them warm with this meal!
- Easy Cleanup
- Try using a liner in your slow cooker for easier cleanup.
