Ingredients
Scale
Beef Mixture
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
Broth and Dumplings
- 4 cups beef broth
- 2 cups biscuit or dumpling dough (prepared or homemade)
Instructions
- Cook Beef and Onions: In a large skillet or pot over medium heat, cook the ground beef with the chopped onion until the beef is thoroughly browned and the onions are translucent. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Add Broth and Dumplings: Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Drop spoonfuls of dumpling dough evenly over the simmering broth.
- Simmer Until Tender: Reduce heat to low and cover the skillet or pot. Let the dumplings cook gently for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are cooked through and tender, absorbing the flavorful broth.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can season the beef with salt, pepper, and garlic powder while cooking.
- If you prefer, substitute beef broth with chicken or vegetable broth.
- Dumpling dough can be store-bought biscuit dough or homemade from scratch using flour, baking powder, milk, and butter.
- Be careful not to lift the lid too often during simmering to keep dumplings light and fluffy.
