BEEF AND BARLEY SOUP III
This is what I consider the ultimate beef soup. Great on a frosty day. For beef stock, I use 2 1/2 quarts water and 6 teaspoons beef base. Also, use inexpensive red wine. No need for the good stuff here, and cheaper actually works better! Try with leftover pot roast.

BEEF AND BULGUR CASSEROLE
Simple, easy to make - and delicious. My family calls this one "slop" too - because it's not a casserole that holds its shape when served. It comes out in a sloppy scoop, onto the plate. But, even though the nickname "slop" doesn't sound too appetizing - I promise this tastes good. It's often requested by the people in my house. I got this from a website with lots of Weight Watchers Core recipes. This recipe is core if you use Fat Free or Soy parmesan.
