Method 6 steps
Combine all the stew ingredients in a large pot and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and allow to simmer while you make the dumplings.
For the dumplings, mix the dry ingredients together and cut in the shortening until the mixture is coarse and grainy.
Add milk and mix just until combined into a dough.
Drop dough by spoonfuls onto the stew.
Simmer 5 minutes with the lid off and 15–20 minutes longer with the lid on.
