I tried this as it was on the zaar random draw tag game and Oh my what a winner.. Everyone loved this and I loved the fact that I had dumplings that didn't take all day to make :) The only thing I did was at the beginning I used one cup of water and two cans of beef broth, gave it a wonderful taste. Then after a couple hours I added another cup of water and 4 beef cubes.. This was absolutely one of the best roast recipe's I have tried. Thanks Michele for a wonderful recipe that will be used again and again.. 5 plus stars for this recipe. faith58
