Recipe for Dumpling Meatball Stew

What You Need

• 2 Tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound hamburger or ground beef
• 1 large chopped onion
• 1/3 cup chopped parsley
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1 can tomato juice 12 ounce
• 1/2 cup water
• 5 minced garlic cloves
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 package baby carrots
• 1/2 cup biscuit baking mix
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 package frozen Lima beans 10 ounce

How to Make It

Reserve 2 tablespoons parsley, set aside until needed. Using a large mixing bowl, you will add the hamburger or ground beef, chopped onion, chopped parsley, egg, dry breadcrumbs, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper and dry mustard. Mix well to combine. Shape and form the meatballs.

Place half of the meatballs into a large heavy Dutch oven with the olive oil over a medium heat to brown. Turn meatballs occasionally to brown all the sides. Remove from heat to drain off oils onto a paper towel. Brown the remaining meatballs and then drain off the drippings.

Into the large heavy Dutch oven, you will add the tomato juice, water, minced garlic cloves, bay leaf, chili powder, and the remaining salt. Combine well while bringing to a boil. Add the baby carrots. Cover with lid. Reduce heat and simmer for about 30 minutes.

While waiting for the vegetables to cook you can combine the biscuit baking mix and the remaining parsley. Stir well. Add all the milk and stir lightly to moisten the dry ingredients. Return meatballs to the pot and then add the lima beans. Bring to a boil. Drop dumpling mixture into the hot boiling water. Cook uncovered for about 10 minutes. Stir, cover, and cook for about 10 more minutes or until the dumplings are tender and fluffy.

Using meatballs in stew is an easy and economical way to add the meat your family craves to their diet without breaking the bank.  As we watch grocery prices steadily rise we are all looking for ways to cut corners without taking away the quality and good flavor we have come to expect.  Perhaps looking back to our parents and theirs, we can find many ideas to help.

In about 30 minutes you can serve up this hearty meal and watch as the family smiles when you bring the dishes to the table.

Beef Stew

First you will need the meatballs.

You can purchase meatballs already prepared and seasoned in your grocer's freezer section.  If you prefer to make your own you can combine:

1 beaten egg

3/4 cup soft bread crumbs

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 pound ground beef

mix all well and form into about 1 inch balls.  You can make a larger ball if you wish, but this is the bite-size that my family prefers.

Whether you use frozen ready-made or your own home-made you will need to brown the meatballs in a pan in hot oil.   In a 12 inch deep sided pan add a tablespoon of cooking oil and 1/2 cup of chopped onion. Brown the meatballs with the onion.  Cover and cook about 5 minutes.  Drain off any fat.  

Add to the meatballs and onion,  one can of condensed cheddar cheese soup and one can of milk, stirring to combine.  Cover and simmer another 10 minutes.

Now you will add one 16 ounce can of diced beets, drained, and one 10 ounce package of frozen brussels sprouts.  Cover and simmer another 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine one 8 ounce can of spinach that has been drained well and chopped to 1 cup of biscuit mix and 1/4 cup milk in a bowl.  Stir well.  You should have a thick batter that holds it shape when dropped from a spoon.

TIP:  Pour the spinach through a coffee filter, gather the edges and squeeze out the extra moisture.  You can also use frozen spinach.  Thaw and squeeze out excess moisture in a paper towel or tea towel

Drop the spinach batter onto the top of the bubbling-hot meatball stew to form about 8 dumplings.  Cover and simmer 10 minutes without lifting the lid.  You want the steam to help cook the dumplings.

While this is last addition is cooking, mix up a nice salad and set the table.  Call the family and serve up this delicious version of an old favorite.  The dumplings give the kids an extra helping of vegetables and take the place of bread or biscuits.  

End the meal with a bowl of fruit and you have a complete meal that will satisfy and nourish your growing family, comfort your friends, and guarantee they come back wanting more.

When I was a kid I knew I was luckier than the other kids. I knew that everyday my mom would have something good to eat for dinner. One of my absolute favorites was her meatball stew. I've made a few modifications to make it a bit easier and quicker to prepare. Give it a try, your family and your taste buds will thank you!

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef

1 medium onion, chopped coarsely

1 medium green pepper, chopped coarsely

1/4 cup dry roux *

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon vegetable oil

2 cups water

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, add beef, 1/4 of the onion, salt, cayenne pepper and black pepper. Mix well.

2. Add vegetable oil to skillet and heat over medium heat.

3. Form beef mixture into meatballs. You should be able to make about 8-10 meatballs. Add meatballs to skillet and brown. Stir meatballs often to keep them from sticking. Cook time should be around 3-5 minutes.

4. Remove meatballs from skillet and set aside in a clean bowl.

5. Add bell pepper and remaining onion to skillet. Reduce heat to low and saute until onions become transparent. Move vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the dry roux. Add water to skillet and mix well with dry roux to remove clumps. Mix roux in with vegetables and increase heat to high and allow to boil for one minute.

6. Reduce heat to low and put meatballs back into skillet. Cover and allow to cook for 20 minutes stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

7. Remove cover and cook for an additional 5 minutes if gravy is too thin.

8. Serve over steamed white rice with whole corn as a side dish.

* Note that you can make your own roux or use 'wet' roux if you have that on hand. I prefer using the dry roux as it is extremely quick to go from powder to ready to use.

This is what we have now for the evening with dinner. :) Why Hamburger Helper when you do something similar here? (It tastes even better), I use beef broth and sauce Bisto is not completely new, but very close. 1 kg minced meat 1 egg with 1 / 4 milk 1 / 2 cup bread crumbs cup Combine above ingredients and beat to form the meatballs, the size is to you. I get about 30 1 "balls of a pound. Place the meatballs in the panPan-fat (butter, the meat is very lean) and brown slightly (about 5 minutes) over medium-high. Add 4 cups broth and bring to a boil. Mix the vegetables you want, I cut a potato and two cups of frozen vegetables. Simmer uncovered about 30 minutes, until vegetables and meatballs are cooked. Add a little 'sauce. I use the brand Bisto gravy mix beef (powder mixed with water) until quite often. You can mix a bit 'cornstarch with waterand thicken. Mix well and thickened. Serve alone or over noodles or rice.
