Easy Dumplings
here are the easiest dumplings you could ever make. I make this recipe to add to Chicken stock for chickena nd dumplings. I have also made the dumplings smaller and added meat and pasta sauce. if you make them small enough, you can referigerate them and as breakfast you can saute them with butter, onion and eggs.
this is something we use to eat as kids. this was a cheap recipe for my mother to make.
What you will need is:
1 cup flour (you can use all purpose or Wheat)
1/2 cup water
1 egg
bring water to a boil and drop dough one spoon full at a time in boiling water. they will float to the top when done. allow to cook a minute more then remove from water.
by adding chicken broth, 2 cups of chicken meat and enough chicken gravy to thicken the broth. this will give you fast and easy chicken and dumplings.
you can make a fast dinner by browing 1 lbs of ground beef. drain and add to sauce pan. add 1 jar of chunckey garden vegetable pasta sauce, 1 can rotel season with salt and pepper to taste. add the pasta and top with your favorite cheese. place in a 300 degree oven to melt cheese. I always serve this with Garlic Cheese Bread.
as a breakfast dish you can saute onion in butter, add pasta and eggs..cook until eggs are done. you can also add Ham to this to add something different. it is a great meal and the pasta makes it very filling.
we all love maccroni and cheese..this is a great adult mac and cheese. add 1 jar of Ragu 3 cheese sauce, 1 can rotel, and Ham cut into cubes. heat through and serve. my husband and I love to eat this by its self as a meal.
I hope you find new ways to make your pasta your own, enjoy!
