Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 cup diced yellow onion
- 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 (10.5 oz) can condensed cheddar cheese soup
- 1 (10.5 oz) can condensed cream of bacon soup
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups half and half
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 (12 oz) can refrigerated biscuit dough (10 biscuits)
Instructions
- Brown Beef and Onions: Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and crumble it well. Add the diced onions and cook until the beef is browned and onions become translucent.
- Add Flavor and Liquids: Stir in the chopped garlic and Italian seasoning. Then add the condensed cheddar cheese soup, cream of bacon soup, chicken broth, and half and half. Stir everything until well combined.
- Simmer with Vegetables: Add the frozen mixed vegetables to the pot and bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Prepare Dumplings: While the mixture is boiling, cut each refrigerated biscuit into 6 pieces to form small dumpling pieces.
- Cook Dumplings: Add the biscuit pieces to the boiling mixture. Stir gently, cover the pot, and reduce the heat to medium-low. Let it simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the dumplings to cook through and thicken the stew.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the lid and stir the stew. Remove the pot from heat and let it rest for a few minutes to thicken further. Serve hot and enjoy the hearty meal.
Notes
- To ensure even cooking, cut the biscuit dough into uniform pieces.
- For a thicker stew, let it rest uncovered for a few extra minutes before serving.
- You can substitute the mixed vegetables with fresh ones like carrots, peas, and corn if preferred.
- Serving with a side of crusty bread enhances the meal experience.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
