Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 package refrigerated dumplings
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (like peas, carrots, and corn)
  • 1 cup cooked chicken or tofu (optional)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese
  • 1 can cream of chicken or mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mixed vegetables and sauté for about 5 minutes, until slightly tender. If you’re including chicken or tofu, add this to the skillet now and mix well.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the cream of chicken or mushroom soup with the milk. Stir until well mixed, and add salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Pour the soup mixture over the sautéed vegetables and stir until everything is well coated.
  5. Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  6. Arrange the refrigerated dumplings on top of the veggie mixture. Sprinkle the shredded cheese generously over everything.
Cooking
  1. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until the dumplings are cooked through and golden brown, and the cheese is bubbling and delicious.
  2. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Substitutions: You can easily switch out mixed veggies for your favorites or what’s in season. As for the protein, lean toward Halal chicken or stick with tofu for a vegetarian twist. Ensure your dumplings are evenly spaced in the dish to promote even cooking and browning. Don’t skip preheating your oven for even cooking.
