Christine Datian layers Mediterranean flavors - seasoned ground lamb and slices of eggplant - then tops the works with bread crumbs and feta cheese and bakes it. The result is a simple, hearty dish.
Joy Frey of Kelso, Missouri appreciates the convenience of this meal--its flavor might remind you of ravioli. 'The recipe makes a lot, so I don't have to cook on the night we enjoy the left-overs,' she adds.
'I found this hearty stew recipe in an old cookbook purchased at a flea market,' recalls Judy McCarthy of Derby, Kansas. 'The blend of beef and barley really hits the spot on cool days.'
