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.

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 :)

DEB'S CALDILLO (MEXICAN GROUND BEEF STEW)
This is a tart and hearty stew with a southwestern flavor. I made it up after visiting a local Texas restaurant which declined to give me their recipe for the delicious stew I ate there. Although mine tastes similar to theirs, it is much more tart (which I like) and hot (which I love!) Check it out if you like something a bit different. You won't be disappointed.

- Add some herbs and spices: This will help to give the stew a more complex flavor. Good options include thyme, rosemary, bay leaves, and black pepper.
- Simmer the stew for at least 1 hour: This will allow the flavors to develop and the beef to become tender.
