The Easiest Beef Barley Soup on the Planet

2-3 lbs of stew beef
1 can of diced tomatoes
1.5 cups of shredded carrots (my boys won't eat big bits!)
4-5 cups water
1 packet of McCormick Hearty Beef Stew spices
1.5-2 cups of uncooked barley

Throw all of the above ingredients except the barley in the slow cooker for about 6 hours on low. Add the barley and let it cook for another 2 hours on low (total cooking time is 8 hrs).

It was staggeringly tasty!
