What an easy and delicious recipe. Made this one rainy, cold day (which are rare in south Texas...) and kept going back for "just a little bit more". Such warming and yummy comfort food.

I thought this was an excellent Fall recipe! I don't add salt to my food usually, I didn't add additional seasonings to this dish, and I thought it was good. My boyfriend added salt and pepper to his, but he likes things saltier than I do. I liked the stuffing dumplings (no problems with them)...much more flavorful than regular dumplings. My crockpot is small so I think it may have helped the dumplings stick together. I will make this again!

Made this yesterday and it was great for a chilly day. I did add a little basil, oregano, and parsley as well as a small amount of cornstarch and milk to make it a thicker consistency. Didn't have the problems others had with the "dumplings", you just have to make sure the mixture is completely moist before forming the balls.

I give this recipe 5 stars plus more!! it was delicious! I did everything the directions said and my husband and I LOVED it! I did read that a few people were having problems with the dumplings sticking together.... i had the same problem... all i did was ditch the measuring spoons and formed the dumplings into a ball with my hand :) We will be making this again!!!
