Vegetable Beef Barley Soup

This is a recipe that my mom makes but I have modified it a little. I love it and so does my family. It is great because #1 it tastes so good and #2 it makes a lot! We have leftovers for days! Here is what you need:

2lb ground turkey meat, drained  (My mom uses hamburger. Whichever is fine.)

1 Large onion chopped
1 can each of corn, peas, green beans, carrots(sliced), potatoes(diced or cubed) and fire roasted diced tomatoes. Do NOT drain the cans of veggies. Add the juice as well.

1 large can of tomato juice

4 cups of beef broth

3/4 cup barley

3 bay leaves

Mrs Dash seasoning if you like

Cook meat and onion in large stock pot, drain.

 

Return to the stock pot and add all the veggies(do NOT drain them-add juice too), tomato juice and beef stock.

Now add the bay leaves and Mrs Dash.

Bring to a boil and then add the 3/4 cup of barley. Simmer for about 30 minutes.

Baked Corn

I got this recipe out of the Parade Magazine on Sunday and thought I would try it out! Here is what you need:

1 cup milk
2 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp sugar
2 Tbsp flour
1 15-oz. can of corn (whole & drained)
2 eggs (well beaten)

Before

Boil 3/4 cup milk w/ butter & sugar. Dissolve flour in 1/4 cup milk. Pour flour mixture into milk mixture to make a thin white sauce. Add this to the drained corn in a 1-1.5 quart Pyrex loaf pan. Mix the eggs and add to loaf pan. Bake 1 hour at 400 degrees.

After

It says that it serves 4 but with our appetites it serves 2!! I would say make 2 of these at a time because it is yummy!!! I am glad that I tried it and now you can too!
