Chili Dumpling Stew
Foods Little Hug
Comfort Food: Everyone needs a good dose of it and it doesn’t matter what the reason may be. Growing up in our house, the comfort food of choice was always Chili Dumpling Stew. This delectable beef and potato mixture has been a favorite ever since I was a little girl and now it has become a favorite to my children as well. There is nothing better to warm your belly and soothe your soul than a bowl of Chili Dumpling Stew and some hot Corn Bread muffins. Call it “foods little hug”.

Nothing really needs to be added to this wonderful dish; however, if you are like my family, you might like to top your chili with a little sour cream and some shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Just a thought!
Enjoy your meal and Happy Cooking!
