Stewed Tomatoes with Dumplings

Taste of Home Dinner on a Dime, p. 167

1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained

1 tablespoon sugar

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon pepper

2 tablespoons butter

½ cup biscuit/baking mix

3 tablespoons milk

In a large saucepan, combine the tomatoes, sugar, salt, pepper and butter. 

So simple, but so tasty!

Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

In a small bowl, combine biscuit mix and milk. 

Mine took a little more milk than the recipe called for, but we got there in the end.

Drop batter in four mounds onto the tomatoes. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in a dumpling comes out clean (do not lift cover while simmering). 

They just kind of go Poof! as they cook!

My Rating: 4/5 "Wonderfully cheap and easy comfort food. I was amazed at the great texture that the dumplings get just from getting steamed with the tomatoes, and the sweet/salty tomato-ness gives them a really flavorful foundation."
