Joe surprised me with this recipe last week.

He cooked it one night just to pack it in our lunches. It wasn’t left over; we never did eat it for dinner. He just made it for our lunches.

Have I got a good guy or what?

Anyway, I never ate chili like this before, so it was different and very good.

  4. Sprinkle with cheese. Cover; cook about 3 minutes or until cheese is melted.
  5. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream.

I have made a recipe almost identical to this from out of the Bisquick cook book for us here and it was great. I had ground beef instead of chicken, but I will have to try the chicken kind one day. Our cheese went into the dumplings and on top also.

Mister Linky is up for this week's Crock Pot Wednesday. I figured with the busy week and weekend, that we should get an early start. I hope you will come on over and join me. There's a giveaway going on.

Oh wow, I never made dumplings with cornmeal AND Bisquick before – great idea! And I bet they go fantastically with the chili!
