When I started bringing this distinctive dish to holiday dinners, a lot of people had never seen barley in anything but soup. They have since dubbed me "the barley lady", and now I wouldn't dare bring anything this dish. Even if I double the recipe, I come home with an empty pan. -Renate Crump, Los Angeles, California

It was great! I added chopped carrots since the chopper was out for the onion. It was delicious!

I started making this many years ago when it was first published. My husband wouldn't have Thanksgiving without it!

I did not use the butter; but put all the ingredients into the microwave. I cooked it on a lower setting and it was delicious. I liked lowering the fat content and it was nice and moist without the butter.

Good recipe. I have successfully prepared this on the stovetop, adding a bit more liquid than the recipe calls for.

This recipe is so good that I've served it with everything from roast beef to roast chicken to ham. It started as a holiday instead-of-stuffing dish for my family, but now I make it any time of the year.
