Dumplings

Hello.  I made Chicken 'N Dumplings yesterday.  I have always used the Betty Crocker recipe for my dumplings.  Here it is, if anyone would like it.

Dumplings

  3 tablespoon shortening                         

  1 1/2 cups self-rising flour                 

  3/4 cup milk                    

 

 Cut shortening into flour until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in milk.

 

Roll out dough on floured surface. Cut into strips.     

Sassy Tailgate Sandwiches

One of the ladies at work made these for our Christmas party.  They were great.

  12 count hawaiian rolls                    
  1 lb ham; sliced
  12 slices Swiss cheese                      
  1/2 tablespoon onion flakes                      
  1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce              
  1/2 cup butter; melted
  1/4 cup parmesan                          

Cut all 12 rolls in half. Place roll bottoms in 9X13 pan. Place equal amounts of ham on each roll bottom. Top with swiss cheese.

On each of th roll tops spread a generous amount of cream cheese. Return the tops to the bottoms. Making a sandwich.

In a separate bowl, mix together the butter, worcestershire sauce, onion flakes and parmesan cheese. Pour over sandwiches and let it sit for at least 20 minutes. (You can make these ahead of time and allow to sit in fridge overnight.)

Place sandwiches, covered in foil, into a preheated 350°F oven. Bake for 20 minutes or until warmed through.
