This is exactly the same recipe that I have used for years from "More With Less" cookbook by Doris Janzen Longacre, c 1976, 2000. I am glad to find it here but think credit should be given to this marvelous cookbook.

This is one of my favourite go to recipes. I replaced the water with beef broth to give it a little more flavour. It's one of those recipes that always seems to turn out, easy to make but it looks like you slaved in the kitchen.

Super recipe! Served over mashed potatoes with a side of roast asparagus. Skipped the celery and added extra peppers. Used Goya barley and it was perfectly soft after 30 min. So good, reminded me a little of shepherd's pie filling with a kick from the chilli sauce. Thanks for the keeper!

Very, very yummy! I used leftover roast beef and fresh tomatoes rather than canned, but otherwise followed this recipe exactly. It was just barely enough for our family of 5. A great way to use up leftover roast, for sure!

We enjoyed this recipe very much. Cooked it just like you posted. We simply just ate it out of a bowl and got our bellys full. Simple to follow recipe. Thank You for posting. Hugs
