Ingredients
Let’s gather everything you need to create this delightful dish. You’ll find that these ingredients are simple, yet they come together in a spectacular way:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder

Feel free to substitute the ground beef with ground turkey or chicken if you prefer. For a vegetarian version, swap the beef with lentils and use vegetable broth instead.
Instructions
Let’s dive into the cooking process. Remember, cooking is all about enjoying the journey, just like learning how to roll tortillas with my grandmother.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Pour in the beef broth and add the peas and carrots, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk and melted butter until a dough forms.
- Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the simmering beef mixture. Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Let the dumplings cook for 15 minutes or until they are cooked through and fluffy.
- Serve hot, and enjoy the comforting flavors.
