Ingredients

• •1 lb beef, ground
• •1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• •3 cups beef broth (gluten-free)
• •1 tbsp chili powder
• •1 tsp garlic powder
• •1 tbsp barbecue sauce
• •1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

Directions

1. 1Preheat broiler to high and set oven rack 6 inches from element.
2. 2Brown ground beef in an oven-safe pot over medium-high heat for 5 minutes.
3. 3Drain excess fat, then stir in chili powder and garlic powder.
4. 4Add broth, kidney beans, and barbecue sauce; simmer 12 minutes uncovered.
5. 5Sprinkle shredded cheddar evenly over the top of the soup.
6. 6Broil 3 minutes until cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden; serve immediately.

💡 Cook quick barley until just tender before adding cheese to this beef soup; dairy thickens the broth and can make undercooked barley harder to judge.
