Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Vegetables
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
Broth and Dumplings
- 4 cups beef broth
- 2 cups prepared dumplings (homemade or store-bought)
Instructions
- Cook the beef and onion: In a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat, add the ground beef and chopped onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and the onions are softened, about 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
- Add broth and dumplings: Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Carefully add the dumplings to the pot, ensuring they are submerged.
- Simmer until tender: Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let the dumplings simmer in the broth with the beef and onions for about 20-25 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through and tender.
Notes
- Use beef broth with low sodium to control salt content.
- Dumplings can be homemade or pre-packaged – adjust cooking time accordingly.
- For extra flavor, add herbs like thyme or parsley during simmering.
- Drain excess grease from the beef to keep the dish lighter.
