It simmers in the slow-cooker and uses ready-made
biscuits for a fast version of an old fashioned delight.

  1. Your recipe sounds lovely - delicious comfort food at its best! And I love that you use refrigerator biscuits for the dumplings. I struggle to make nice dumplings and I'm not really that fond of them - but I love refrigerator biscuits!!

CONCETTA'S RECIPES

The Kitchenettes ~ A Hospitality Club

Romans 12:13
Pursue the practice of hospitality.

The Kitchenettes is all about teaching and mentoring young girls in the art of hospitality. It is so much more than cooking or doing domestic tasks ~ hospitality is the very heart of God ~ a demonstration of pouring His love onto others. This group of young girls are learning the very nature and character of God as they serve people and sharpen their skills in homemaking.
