I love down-home cooking and this is perfect for a hearty, comforting meal for two (or double it for four). It is simple to make and using frozen veggies makes it even easier. Perfect for a cold day to warm your belly and fill you up, I served this with just a green salad on the side.

Simmering dumplings

If you are mixing the dough for the dumplings and don’t feel you have enough you can always just add a little more milk and Bisquick and ensure your dough is not dry but not watery so adjust as needed. The resulting white sauce and plump dumplings are rich and divine.
