Super easy and tasty beef stew recipe. This started as Slow Cooker Beef Stew I on Allrecipes and I modified to make only enough for two and to add the dumplings. Sorry about the dumpling recipe description. It's a little looser-goosey. Read more Don't worry, dumplings are pretty forgiving and cheap to recreate if they don't work the first time. See less

How to make it
- Place meat in small slow cooker. In a small bowl, mix together flour, salt and pepper; pour over meat, and stir to coat meat with flour mixture. Stir in remaining stew ingredients. Cover and cook on low setting 8-10 hours.
- For dumplings, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Beat egg and milk together. Beat in salt. Stir in flour till you get a very wet dough. If you tilt the bowl it should flow just a little bit. I'm guessing at the amount of flour because I always just mix it in till the dough is the right consistency for dumplings. Drop little bits of dough into the boiling water until you have used up all the dough. This is easiest if you use a stainless steel spoon and dip it into the hot water before you start, and keep dipping it every time you drop a dumpling to keep the dough from sticking to the spoon. Also, don't drop large bits. Dumplings grow a lot when they cook! Once all the dumplings are in the pot, let it simmer 5-8 minutes depending on how big they are. When done, drain the cooking water.
- Add the cooked dumplings to the slow cooker, stirring to get them coated with the gravy. Leave for 15 - 20 minutes to let the dumplings take on the beef stew flavor, then serve.

I loved this! I don't like a lot of broth or liquid in my soups or stews so this was perfect for me. I also like that there was no browning of the stew meat - just dump it in the pot. I didn't have any red potatoes so I used Yukon gold. I also di...more
