Its just as hearty, just as filling, and just as simple to toss together as the chicken version, but this one is made with ground beef. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:Why didnt you use beef broth instead of chicken broth? I know someone will ask so Ill just get that out of the way. You can certainly use beef broth. I was trying to keep this like chicken and dumplings, but obviously this is your beef and dumplings to make, if you want it beefier, then use beef broth. Can I make this in the Crock Pot instead? Sure, I suppose you can. Although, this recipe is quite easy and comes together in only 35 minutes, so its already fast and simple. If wanting to make this in the Crock Pot, youll need to cook the ground beef first. Add everything to the crock pot, stir then cover and cook on high for about an hour and a half. Check to make sure dumplings are cooked and not doughy. What to serve with Ground Beef and Dumplings? You can enjoy this meal as is, or add some favorite sides. I like to enjoy this with some steamed vegetables and/or a big salad. You cant go wrong with some crusty bread or Dinner Rolls either. Change things up a bit and enjoy a slice or two of Cornbread or Cornbread Muffins. Why is this so thick? This is actually supposed to be thick, like a stew. But, if you want it thinner, just add more chicken broth or a bit more milk. If youre really in a pinch, you could even add some water to it. How do I store and reheat leftovers? You can keep this in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can freeze this dish in an airtight container for up to 1 month. You can reheat the dish in the microwave or in the oven at 350F until warmed through.

If you have it and need it, use no sodium broth and other ingredients as needed.frozen mixed vegetables you can use the mixed veggie medley or just peas and carrots, just corn, etc. condensed cheddar soupcondensed cream of chicken soup grab a can of whatever brand is on sale, or make some Homemade Cream of Chicken Soup.
