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.

In large skillet, saute onion, green pepper and celery in butter until tender. Add bay leaf, tomatoes, brown sugar, basil, salt and pepper; cover and simmer for 5-10 minutes.

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

I used the dumplings portion of this recipe with my own recipe for tomato soup. The dumplings will be a new staple for my family!

My husband loved this so much that he's requested it any time we have beef! I like it because it was simple to make with big taste.

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.
