Description
Comforting Ground Beef and Dumplings in One Cozy Pot
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Ground Beef (80/20 blend for juiciness)
- 1 medium Onion (diced)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 cups Beef Broth
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 tsp Thyme (dried)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Pepper
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 2 tbsp Baking Powder
- 1 cup Milk
- 4 tbsp Butter (cold, diced)
- 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley (chopped)
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook for about 8-10 minutes, breaking it apart until no longer pink. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Stir in the diced onion and minced garlic to the browned beef. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the onion becomes translucent. Add Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper, stirring to combine.
- Sprinkle the flour over the beef mixture, stirring constantly for about 1-2 minutes. Gradually pour in the beef broth while mixing continuously until the gravy thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Reduce heat and let simmer.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Cut in cold butter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk until just combined.
- Spoon the dumpling mixture over the simmering beef mixture. Cover the pan with a lid and reduce the heat. Allow the dumplings to steam for about 15 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let sit for a couple of minutes. Garnish with parsley if desired and serve warm.
