  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt

Preparation

Step 1

In 10-inch skillet, cook beef over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until brown; drain. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the onions, 1 cup water, the garlic salt and gravy mix (dry). Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens. Stir in potatoes, peas and tomato. Heat until hot; reduce heat to medium-low.

2. In small bowl, stir Bisquick mix, remaining 2 tablespoons onions and 1/2 cup water until soft dough forms. Drop dough by tablespoonfuls (see Success tip) onto beef mixture.

3. Cover; cook 8 minutes. Uncover; cook 8 to 10 minutes longer or until toothpick inserted in center of dumplings comes out clean.

Success

When making dumplings, a great way to drop the dough is to use a small cookie-dough scoop, quickly scooping dough and dropping onto the beef mixture.
