Beef and Dumpling Soup, with recipe

"It smelled more flavorful than it was"

I liked it....but I was the only one =( 

Beef Dumpling Soup

Fix it and Forget it Christmas Cookbook

1 lb. beef stewing meat, cubed

1 envelope dry onion soup mix

6 C hot water *see note below

2 carrots, peeled and shredded

1 bib of celery, finely chopped

1 tomato, peeled and chopped

1 cup of buttermilk biscuit mix

1 Tbsp, finely chopped parsley

6 Tbsp milk

1. place meat in the slow cooker. Sprinkle with onion soup mix. Pour water over meat

2. Add Carrots, Celery and Tomato. 

3. Cover. Cook on Low 4-6 hours, or until meat is tender. 

4. Combine biscuit mix and parsley in a bowl. Stir in milk until moistened. Drop by teaspoonfuls into cooker

5. Cover. Cook on High for 30 minutes.

**I added garlic and a bay leaf. I also used Onion and Garlic Powder. 

Instead of water I used beef stock.

Maybe I just over cooked this and that's why it lost it's flavor. I would like to give it another try someday....
