I tried the Beef & Barley stew yesterday and its really really good!!!

I don't eat beef but to be on Jenny for the length of time I need to be, and to keep things interesting, I decided I needed to expand my horizons. (it wasn't easy-as I haven't eaten red meats in about 5 years.) So far I have tried the swedish meatballs, the bbq meatloaf and now the beef stew. I have to say I'm going to buy extras of this promo item so when it goes away, I'll have some for the coldest months of January and February.

Try it---it's good!!! Very hearty with the potatoes and barley. Also the beef is tender and not fatty or full of grizzle. That's a real turn off!

Enjoy!

I totally agree with you Lynn!! I find it delicious!!! I've had it twice this week, and I'm going to be sure to get plenty when I go back for my WI on Monday!! There was even more than just 2 pieces of beef in there also! It's a perfect meal on the colds days and it's filling!

Lynn,
I am glad you liked the beef and barley stew...i don't like the shelf foods,(it is a shelf food,not a frozen entree')so..i consider you a very brave woman,one that hasn't eaten red meat in in 5 years to ventured out and had JC Beef and barley Stew...I would have waited and had a fillet mignon,,now tha is some delicious red meat,yummy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i haven't ordered food in over a month,but if it is that good,i may have to try it,,,but it is a promo so they won't have any left by the time i order food in late January......Nice chatting with you keep warm this week-end!!!!!!!!!!! Christine

[neesapeesa]

I agree!! YUMMY!! I will make certain to add it for a couple lunch choices next week!

[KatBes]

I really really liked it too! I thought it would be watery, more like soup, but it IS thick like stew should be! I even got inspired to make my husband real beef stew to eat when I had this and I wasn't even tempted to eat some of his because mine tasted just as good ! Definately going to get more this week !

I tried the Beef & Barley Stew and was very impressed on the portion size and how good it was! It has been an enjoyable lunch, especially on those cold days! A nice change!

Hi Christine! Doing well, just working a lot. Last week was just a 9/10 of a pound weight loss. But, with no exercise, a few glasses of wine (stress), its kind of what was expected. At this time of year I'll be happy its not a gain.
I see by your ticker that you are doing a great job with weight loss. I'm so impressed!! Looks like you and I are aiming for the same goal weight. Are you doing okay with the holidays?

Hi Christine2264,

Sorry I didn't get back to you on the Beef & Barley Stew, but between working and Christmas shopping, I hadn't been on the internet, but thank you to Chianti for answering you!

Have a Happy New Year!!!

The beef and barley stew is absolutly delicious and has a nice portion size. I can't get enough of it. Please make this one a KEEPER!!!

OMG I LOVE THE STEW!!!

Only thing that I don't like about it is it usually blows up on me in the micro and falls over

[HopefulVickie]

I like it too. It's not the bowl that's making it jump around, though, as others have thought. It's something in the stew itself. Yesterday, I put it in a regular bowl and covered it with a microwave plate cover and it was still making crazy popping noises and the bowl cover had stew on it. But, at least I didn't lose any stew to the microwave.

I love the stew...nice and hearty. Everyone at work knows when I heat it up because it sounds like it is exploding...watched it flip over on it side...kinda weird.

[valerie0118]

I love this dish. Very filling and flavorful.

[elyseb]

I thought this was very tasty. One of the best lunches I've had.

[jackybeertje]

I had it today. The taste was ok. I am not crazy about it. And I am very gassy and bloated now.

[KJW1101]

I have to say--I had this and while the portion size was very good (especially if you add additional vegetables; I was actually FULL when I finished), I found the taste to be just OK. I don't think I will be ordering this one again.
