Beef Stew with Tasty Dumplings

I really like to put dumplings in my stew and chili recipes, especially in this Hearty Beef Stew with Dumplings. First, I used my favorite beef stew recipe. Then, I added my best dumpling recipe and cooked it all in a crockpot, making it super easy. This dish is definitely a winner!

In this Hearty Beef Stew with Dumplings, I put lots of veggies, not just the usual ones like potatoes, carrots, and celery, but also green beans, peas, corn, mushrooms, and stewed tomatoes. I seasoned the stew with Worcestershire sauce and some of my favorite herbs. The dumplings are also well seasoned, not bland at all.

This meal is very filling and satisfying, perfect as a one-dish meal. Plus, you can make it in a slow cooker, so you don't have to watch it constantly. It's great for any time of the year, not just when it's cold outside.

If you enjoy making comforting meals for your family, this one should be at the top of your list! You might even want to add it to your monthly menu rotation.
