Ingredients

For Filling:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 stalks celery chopped
  • 1 cup peeled & chopped carrots
  • 3-4 small Yukon gold potatoes about 1 inch dice {about 2 cups}*
  • 1 10 ounce container of sliced mushrooms
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon dried rosemary
  • ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • ¾ cups Guinness
  • 1 to 1 ½ cups vegetable broth **

For Biscuit Topping:

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup grated Irish cheddar
  • ½ cup butter {1 stick} melted, 1 tablespoon reserved
  • ½ cup half and half or milk
  • ½ cup vegetable broth
  • Optional: Parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, celery, carrots, potatoes and mushrooms. Sprinkle the mixture with garlic powder, salt, rosemary and thyme. Cook, stirring often, for about 10-15 minutes until all the vegetables are tender and the potatoes begin to soften.
  • Sprinkle the flour evenly over the mixture and carefully toss to coat, cooking for about a minute.
  • Pour in the Guinness, scraping up any bits stuck to the pan. Pour in the vegetable broth and stir to combine.
  • Let the mixture simmer for about 5-7 minutes or until the liquid thickens up and starts to look more like a sauce or a gravy and the potatoes are fork tender.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder and cheese.
  • Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the half and half, vegetable broth and butter. Mix until everything is combined and a sticky dough is formed -- do not overwork the mixture, just ensure that there are no dry spots.
  • Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, plop little mounds of dough over the top of the mixture in the skillet. It's ok if there are gaps in between, they'll grow a bit as they bake. Brush the tops of the dough balls with the remainder of the melted butter you've set aside.
  • Bake for about 20-23 minutes or until the biscuits have set and the stew is bubbly around the edges.
  • Remove from oven and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving, if desired.

** If you prefer more gravy, increase the broth to 1 ¼ to 1 ½ cups
