Ingredients
For the Chipped Beef:
- Chipped beef about 8 ounces: This will add that salty, savory flavor that perfectly complements the other ingredients.
- Butter 2 tablespoons: For sautéing the chipped beef and creating a rich, flavorful base.
For the Flour Dumplings:
- All-purpose flour 1 cup: This will give your dumplings the right texture and structure.
- Baking powder 2 teaspoons: Essential for light, fluffy dumplings.
- Salt 1/2 teaspoon: To season the dough and balance the flavors.
- Milk 1/2 cup: This will hydrate the flour and make the dumplings soft and tender.
- Butter 2 tablespoons: To add richness and ensure your dumplings are moist and delicious.
For the Potatoes:
- Potatoes 4 medium-sized: You’ll need some hearty starchy potatoes to absorb all the flavors and make this dish extra filling. Russet potatoes work great for this recipe, but feel free to use what you have on hand.
- Salt and pepper: For seasoning the potatoes as they cook.
Optional Add-Ins:
- Garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon: Adds extra depth to the flavor of the beef and dumplings.
- Fresh parsley for garnish: A touch of green goes a long way in brightening up this dish and adding freshness.
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes
- Begin by peeling and cutting the potatoes into small, bite-sized chunks. Place them in a pot and add enough water to submerge them. Sprinkle in a pinch of salt, then bring the water to a boil. Once it’s boiling, lower the heat and let them simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Drain the water and set the potatoes aside.
Step 2: Cook the Chipped Beef
- While the potatoes are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Add the chipped beef to the pan and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until the beef is browned and slightly crispy. If you like a bit of extra flavor, you can sprinkle in some garlic powder during this step.
Step 3: Make the Dumplings
- In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and a pinch of pepper. Stir in the milk and melted butter until you have a thick, smooth dough. If the dough seems too thick, add a bit more milk, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a slightly sticky but manageable consistency.
Step 4: Combine Everything
- Now, add your cooked potatoes to the skillet with the chipped beef, gently mixing to combine. Once everything is well-mixed, drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough onto the surface of the beef and potato mixture. You should have a nice layer of dumplings sitting on top.
Step 5: Simmer to Cook the Dumplings
- Cover the skillet with a tight-fitting lid and let the dumplings steam for about 10-12 minutes. This will cook them through and create that light, fluffy texture we’re aiming for. Don’t peek too often—keeping the lid on helps trap the steam and cook the dumplings evenly.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
- Once the dumplings are cooked through, it’s time to dish up! Serve hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley if you like, and enjoy the hearty, comforting flavors of chipped beef, fluffy dumplings, and tender potatoes.
