Mushroom Barley Bake Recipe

The first time I tasted this barley bake was when my daughter, a busy nurse, mother and farm wife, made it one night. Its tempting flavor prompted the whole family to ask for seconds.

Is this instant barley or barley that takes an hour?

Medium pearl barley is the long cooking one.

We really enjoy this barley dish. We love the flavor of the mushrooms, and the barley has such nice texture. It also reheats well, which is great since the 9x13 size is more than what we need. I used beef bouillon instead of chicken bouillon.
