Mix Beef with Turkey and set aside. Saute onions in olive oil until translucent. Add garlic and cook 1 minute or until fragrant. Add meat and cook until brown completely. Stir and break up while cooking. If necessary, drain excess fat. Put meat/seasoning mixture, corn, tomatoes, carrots, water and seasoning mix in crock pot. Stir to mix. Cook on low, 8-10 hours. Add barley last hour of cooking. May need to add more water after barley is added.Note: check crock pot occasionally if more liquid is needed. Some crock pots make a lot of liquid, some do not. You can add more water or beef broth.Number of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user DIGGING4ROOTS.
