My husband and I are in the process of gradually going vegan and loved this easy flavorful recipe. We substituted asparagus for the mushrooms and used sharp white cheddar since we had them on hand. Looking forward to making it again!

i give it some hot sauce when i serve it. it's pretty bland otherwise. i think next time I'll try some bouillon in it. easy and yummy!

My daughter and I loved it.... she's 10 months and I had a tough time giving her veggies and she gobbled it up... it was fast, easy to make, and delicious. Thanks for the recipe! Make it a great day!

I love barley and always enjoy new recipes. Especially in cold, damp weather. I had an eggplant, so I used it instead of mushrooms. This is delicious. Thanks TattooedMama of 2
