Beef and Barley-Stuffed Peppers
The bell peppers are softened in the microwave before they are filled and baked. Quick-cooking barley is a boon for busy weeknights.

My wife loved it. First time I had done barley for a meal and we both like how it turned out. We like a lot of flavors so I put in a half teaspoon of Thyme, Rosemary, Parsley, Oregano with a 1/4 teaspoon of Coriander as well as three cloves of garlic. It was an extremely easy prep and didn't take a lot of time, along with flavor a major vote in its favor.

Read MoreI'm surprised by all the rave reviews. I didn't think this was bad, just very ho-hum. My husband is usually very complimentary about my cooking, but his response to this dish was "they're kind of bland." I like the idea of using barley with the beef to stuff the peppers and using the microwave, but I'll definitely doctor up this recipe if I make it again.
Read MoreThis was okay but I prefer the CL Jasmine-Rice Stuffed Peppers or the CL Stuffed Green Pepper Soup. I wish I had removed the peppers from the microwave right away, because they had overcooked by the time I was ready to stuff them. I made a double recipe of the filling, and will try the leftover filling in homemade tortillas tonight.
