Nice base recipe. I added a full cup of water during the cooking as there wasn't much liquid. I was afraid it would be too watery but it still thickened up nicely after the dumplings finished cooking. Also added chopped carrots and more seasoning as I didn't have celery or celery seed. I was afraid I overmixed my dough (have made dumplings before and wasn't thinking as I mixed everything together really well) and they turned out perfect!

So fast and easy! I cut down a little butter and milk and added oregano, parsley and a dash of nutmeg. My cheese butter mixture seemed clumpy but it came together when I added the milk and kept whisking. Great recipe!

I wasn't sure what to expect with this recipe but I wanted something like Skyline. This did not disappoint! I didn't have any cloves so I just used a little more allspice (ground, didn't even know they were berries). I also added a dash of turmeric, coriander, and nutmeg as I saw it used in other similar recipes. I also only had one small can of tomato sauce (oops) so I added a small can of tomato paste and extra water. Everything else, I used according to the recipe. I may have cooked the meat too quickly because I broke up several big chunks during the three hour simmer but it was still great and the texture came together in the last hour. I also added kidney beans a few minutes before serving since that's how I like it. It def took some time but was well worth it!
