This recipe was so easy and so good..We all enjoyed it. I did cheat the recipe once by using bisquick for the dumplings.

Great recipe! My husband, children and I really liked this and it's hard to please us all. I added some diced onion and minced garlic but otherwise followed the recipe. Will definitely make again. Thanks!
