Grandma Swain’s Beef Stew and Dumplings

 

The boys loved the beef stew Grandma Swain made. She made her own biscuit
dough until canned dough became readily available.
It was one of the few shortcuts she took.

Ingredients:
Can of ready made biscuit dough
1 onion chopped
1 clove garlic - crushed
Beef Stew Meat cut in cubes (leftover roast
works good)
2 cups water or beef stock
1-2 tbs of plain flour (depending on how
thick you like your gravy)
Vegetables (Carrots, Celery, Okra, Turnip
or potatos cubed, be creative, whatever your
family likes)
2 Tablespoons butter

Directions:
Fry onion and garlic in the butter then add the cubed beef.
Next add the vegetables and water or stock.
Mix the flour into a paste with a little cold water,
and add to the pan and simmer for 10 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper and leave to cool.
Fill with the beef and vegetables
in a glass baking dish and then
drape the biscuit dough over it.
Cook at 350 for 35-45 minutes
until the tops of the biscuits are golden.
