Meet the Cook: My family asks for this stew just about every week. But it's perfect for company, too - it's easy, and everyone comments on the cheese in the dumplings. -Jackie Riley, Garrettsville, Ohio

Beef Stew with Cheddar Dumplings Recipe

Prep: 25 min. Cook: 1-1/2 hours

Yield: 6-8 Servings

25 90 115

Ingredients

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 to 3 pounds beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons canola oil
5 cups water
5 teaspoons beef bouillon granules
1 tablespoon browning sauce, optional
1/2 teaspoon onion salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
4 medium carrots, sliced
1 medium onion, cut into wedges
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) cut green beans, drained
DUMPLINGS:
2 cups biscuit/baking mix
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
2/3 cup milk

Directions

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the flour, salt and pepper. Add beef, a few pieces at a time, and shake to coat. In a Dutch oven, brown beef in oil in batches.
Stir in the water, bouillon, browning sauce if desired, onion salt and garlic salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1 hour.
Add carrots and onion. Cover and simmer 10-15 minutes longer or until vegetables are tender. Stir in green beans.
For dumplings, combine biscuit mix and cheese. Stir in enough milk to form a soft dough. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto simmering stew. Cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes (do not lift cover) or until a toothpick inserted in a dumpling comes out clean. Serve immediately. Yield: 6-8 servings.

This stew has become a family favorite for years. The dumplings are simply the best and the flavor of the soup is so rich and beefy it satisfies my carnivores.

I made this for dinner tonight and it was fantastic. My family isn't a huge fan of the dumplings so I added potatoes to the stew and omitted the dumplings. Great flavor, this will definitely be a staple at our house over the winter!

Love this stew! I make it with frozen green beans and hardly ever make the dumplings, and it's still delicious!

I added celery -- an addition that I definitely liked. This is a great meal, and it's not hard to fix at all.

This was a great dinner! I thickened the stew a little before putting the dumplings on. Will definitely make this again!
