      This was so easy to make and was a big hit with my family - especially my our year old son, he had 3 kid-size helpings! It was plenty of food for my fam of four and we also had leftovers. I did the math and it only cost me $5.25 to make! Definitely a keeper! The only changes I made was that I added minced garlic in with the onions and I added frozen peas at the very end, right before the cream cheese. I'm also eager to try new veggie and cream cheese combinations!

      This came out really well, even with a bunch of modifications. I had a whole box of instant barley I wanted to use up, so I used 4+ cups of chicken broth and a little more cream cheese. I also added garlic salt, black pepper, garlic pepper, and some herb blend seasoning. Right at the end, the dish was tasting somewhat flat, so I added some white wine, which I absolutely recommend. I will be making this frequently!

      I would never have thought of using pearl barley like this, and it was so good! Absolutely loved it, and the little I had left, I froze, and then took to work as my lunch, it freezes beautifully! this is a whole new experience and one I will definitely repeat, thank you for this marvellous discovery! made for Vegetarian swap#11

      Very good dish! We used it as a main course and added baby portobello mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes. Yummy! Also, we used quick-cooking barley so we cooked it on the side then added it to the veggies. We served this with freshly ground black pepper. We will absolutely be making this again! Thanks!!!

      A lovely dish! Works as a side dish or a meal, you could even add mushrooms with the onion, or cubed smoked ham near the end. Nice and creamy, yet with texture. Thanks! I never thought you could risotto barley! (to "risotto" something is now an official verb)
