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. I did happen to love the stew and sopped up all the juices with bread. I was also a...

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 :)
MUM'S BEEF STEW WITH DUMPLINGS
A hearty, satisfying stew perfect for those cold winter nights! The great part about this recipe is that the dumplings can be made right in the pot, so it's a one-pot-wonder in two parts. Also, the stew is great on its own if you're short on time or prefer having it with bread instead. As the title states, this is my mother's recipe, and I have never found a variation that even comes close. Don't be intimidated by the ingredient list or the cook time - it's well worth it.

- Peel carrots, potato and rutabaga. Cut the carrots and celery into 1/2" slices, and the potato and rutabaga into 1 1/2" cubes.
- Add to meat (adding extra water if needed), also adding bay leaves, bouillon and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 30 minutes. (If making the dumplings, add them with 15-20 minutes of cook time remaining.).
- Add peas and salt 5 minutes before serving.
- DUMPLINGS: Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and cayenne. Add Italian seasoning and mix.
- Using a pastry cutter, chop in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.

Steps:
- Trim excess fat from the steak and cut the beef into 1-inch pieces. Place in a 4- to 5-quart crock pot along with the carrots, celery, onions, garlic, tomatoes, beef broth, 1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme, marjoram, salt, and pepper.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering, and place the onion and beef into the hot oil. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of the steak seasoning, stir the meat and onions well, and sprinkle with 1 more teaspoon of seasoning. Add the celery, and cook and stir until the meat is browned, about 10 minutes.
- Pour in 2 cups of water to just cover the meat, onion, and celery, bring to a boil, and stir and scrape the browned bits of flavor from the bottom of the pan. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until the beef is very tender, about 2 hours. Remove the meat and celery pieces from the pan, set the meat aside, and discard the celery.
- In a bowl, whisk together the gravy mix with 4 cups of water. Add the mixture to the juices in the pot, bring to a boil, and stir the meat back into the gravy mixture. Stir in the turnip and carrots, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir in the potatoes, cover, and simmer an additional 20 minutes.
- To make dumplings, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Cut the shortening into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter or two knives until the mixture looks crumbly. Pour in the milk, and lightly stir the mixture just until it combines to form a dough.
- Remove 2 cups of gravy from the pot, and reserve. Drop the dumplings by heaping tablespoon onto the meat and vegetables in the pot, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Do not peek until the time is up. Pour the reserved gravy back over the dumplings, stir lightly, and serve.
