Absolutely delicious! I used to make this about 15 years ago for my husband, son and myself. I made it tonight for myself, 7 kids and my oldest son's fiance. We all loved it. I didn't use the bay leaves, as I didn't have any and I am gluten free so I used 1 c. of rice instead of barley. I will be making this again. The flavor really surprises you at how good it really is. I even reduced the ground beef to 1 #. I just hope the kids will leave the little bit of leftovers for my husband, who was away working tonight. Thanks for posting this recipe.
