MUM'S STOVE-TOP GROUND BEEF STEW WITH DUMPLINGS
I seem to be the only one in my family as a child that did not like dumplings lol I have yet to try them, and I probably won't ever try them :) But that doesn't mean YOU shouldn't try them lol Apparently, they are really good with this stew.

Steps:
- 1. In a 3 quart pot, heat meat slowly on stove till browned, NOT fried. I think Mum said med. heat and adjust lower, if needed. Add a little salt and pepper.
- 2. When meat is browned, cover with water to about 1/2" over the meat, add onion and simmer for 20 mins. Mum never drained the meat first. (watch and stir if necessary to prevent sticking).
- 3. Add both the can of broth and can of water and simmer for ½ hr - 45 mins. Stir occasionally to prevent any sticking.
- 4. Add cut veggies and a little more salt and pepper to taste. Let simmer slowly till all veggies are done, about 45 mins to 1 hr. Thicken with flour gradually to consistency you prefer.
- 5. This is a THIN stew so you need something to sop up the juices. Make small to medium size Bisquick dumplings and plop on top of stew about 15 mins before you eat. Make sure you have enough liquid in the stew, because dumplings will absorb moisture. You turn back the temp so that the dumplings basically steam. Cover for 15 mins and serve. Crusty bread works too :)

This is a tart and hearty stew with a southwestern flavor. I made it up after visiting a local Texas restaurant which declined to give me their recipe for the delicious stew I ate there.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast, brisket, or short ribs are all good options for beef stew, as they have a lot of flavor and connective tissue that will break down and tenderize during cooking.
- Brown the beef before stewing: This will help to develop the flavors of the meat and prevent it from becoming dry.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor, color, and nutrients to your stew. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and peas.
- Use a flavorful broth: The broth is the base of your stew, so it's important to use one that has a lot of flavor. You can use beef broth, chicken broth, or vegetable broth, or even a combination of all three.
- Season your stew well: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all essential seasonings for beef stew. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste, such as thyme, rosemary, or paprika.
- Simmer your stew for at least 1 hour: This will allow the flavors to meld and the meat to become tender.
- Serve your stew with a side of mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread: This will help to soak up the delicious broth.
Conclusion:
Beef stew is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter night. It is also a relatively easy dish to make, and it can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give beef stew a try. You won't be disappointed!
