Definitely a great fall/winter, stick to your ribs type of comfort food casserole. The dumplings have a different "potato" twist. You could add more or different veggies if you like. I often add green beans or mushrooms. Read more This makes alot so it is great for company. Or, you could halve the recipe and just make one family pan. It is also a great way to use up some of that leftover Thanksgiving turkey! See less
