My husband loves this! I don't think he realizes how healthy it is. It's easy to make and delicious.

I don't have many recipes that use barley or bulgur, and this one's a keeper! I've made it a number of times and love it.

extra cooking time... the prep I didn't clock, but it was more the 25 minute side

I added celery, roasted garlic, millet instead of bulgur, and used home-grown ground beef instead of the beans, but would do it with the beans in a heartbeat. It took extra time for me, too - 20-25 minutes. No cheese. My husband's thrilled!

This is a good casserole that really filled me up. For a twist, I added chopped tomatoes from my garden.

I had to cook it for about 15-20 min more then the recipe states before adding the cheese.

This dish is delicious. I will definitely make this one again. I agree with the comment that it was love at first bite. Besides the bright colors of the ingredients, it was well worth waiting an hour for, my husband said the house smelled so good when he got home from work, he couldn't wait to eat.
