Note
Ensure the stew is simmering gently before adding the dumplings so they cook evenly. Do not lift the lid during the final 10 minutes of cooking, as the steam is essential for the dumplings to rise and become fluffy.
If you do not have Bisquick, you can make a simple dumpling dough by mixing 1 cup flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 cup milk.
For a heartier stew, you can add 1 cup of frozen peas or green beans during the last 5 minutes of simmering before adding the dumplings.
