The wonderful fresh tomato taste of the sauce complements these light savory dumplings. They make a perfect side dish for a meal with beef. My family enjoys them very much.

Tip

Cutting Up Canned Tomatoes

If your recipe calls for a can of chopped tomatoes and you have a can of whole tomatoes, insert a knife into the opened can several times to cut the tomatoes. It’s much easier than using the food processor or cutting each tomato with a knife on a cutting board. —Sherry G., York, Nebraska

My mom use to make tomato dumpling all the time and it was one of my favorites. I never got the recipe from her, she was also from Texas. When I would tell others about this favorite, hoping to find the recipe, they would just look at me like they had never heard of such a thing. Thank You, can't wait to slap a lip on this delish dish again.

I like to sprinkle cheddar cheese over the tops of the dumplings.
