BEEF AND DUMPLINGS

• I use recipe #rz.50337 for my roast.
• Slice leftover roast into strips or chunks.
• Saute meat in wok or large pan with butter using leftover onion slices and spice mixture that were on top of roast.
• Combine mushroom soup,dry onion soup, mushrooms,half & half,pepper and 1 cup of broth from dumplings with meat. Cook on top of stove on medium heat for about 10 minutes.
• Add cooked dumplings and let simmer on low for 10 to 15 minutes.
• You may add sour cream if you prefer but my family doesn't care for sour cream so I don't use it. I usually don't have to add salt because the roast and broth have enough.
