This savory casserole is one of my husband's favorites. He loves the fluffy dumplings with plenty of gravy poured over them. The basil adds just the right touch of flavor and makes the whole house smell so good while this dish cooks. —Sue Mackey, Galesburg, Illinois

My husband loves this casserole. We have made this recipe with peas, according to the recipe, or substituted broccoli. Both are fantastic!

As I write this, this recipe is baking in my oven for the second time in 2 weeks. A couple of changes I made: I used a bag of mixed peas and carrots and added a half bag of sliced frozen carrots as well. Like another user, I bought a rotisserie chicken and cut it up and used it for this recipe. (I used the rest to make some chicken salad.) I also used 2 bags of bisquick biscuit mix (which means that I then doubled all of the ingredients for the biscuit portion of the recipe). When I made this the first time, I didn't think there were enough biscuits for all of the servings (4 of us ate this for 2 nights) so I wanted to make more this time.I also only baked this for 30 minutes uncovered - the biscuits were done after that amount of time and I didn't want to make them any darker.This is a great recipe. It's snowing here and this is the perfect dinner for a cold and snowy night. Looking forward to eating in about 20 minutes!

The only additional thing I did for this recipe was add a can of mixed vegetables that I happened to have on hand. Otherwise I made it exactly as specified and it turned out wonderful. I was a little doubtful about putting the stew part in a baking panbut that worked fine. The dumplings turned out more like biscuits which the men in my family actually liked better than traditional dumplings. In the final baking step you cover the dish with foil for 10 minutes and that is when the dumplings turned golden brown. This was delicious. I made it on a Saturday and by Monday was asked when I'd be making it again.

Surprisingly tasty for how easy the recipe is! We'll definitely make it again and add more veggies, probably use frozen peas and carrots rather than just peas.Thanks for the recipe!

Sub the cooked, rotisserie (sp?) chicken for the cubed chicken. YUM! Baby carrots + butter + brown sugar for an awesome side.
