Bisquick Dumplings And Sauerkraut Recipes

CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS WITH BISQUICK®

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken thighs in the hot butter until no longer pink in the centers, 5 to 7 minutes per side. Remove chicken and let cool, about 5 minutes. Shred or cut into small pieces and set aside.
• Place bacon in a medium skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels, reserving 1 tablespoon bacon grease in the skillet. Let bacon cool slightly, about 5 minutes; crumble and set aside.
• Scrape chicken drippings from the the skillet into a stockpot or Dutch oven. Cook potatoes, carrots, celery, red onion, and garlic in the pot over medium heat until onion is soft and transparent, about 5 minutes. Stir in chicken, reserved bacon grease, broth, 1 cup milk, mushroom soup, corn, paprika, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat and let stew simmer for 20 minutes.
• Mix baking mix and milk for dumplings together to form a sticky dough. Drop by spoonfuls into stew. Cook, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Cover and continue to cook until dumplings are set, about 10 minutes more. Serve stew with a garnish of crumbled bacon.

PORK, SAUERKRAUT AND DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Place pork roast into the bottom of a slow cooker and cover with sauerkraut with juice, applesauce, brown sugar, and 1 can beer. Set cooker to High, cover, and cook 3 hours. Reduce heat to Low and cook 4 more hours.
• About 1 1/2 hours before serving time, heat water with reserved pork trimmings in a large saucepan over low heat and simmer to make broth, about 45 minutes. Strain broth, discard trimmings, and pour remaining can of beer and kraut juice into the simmering broth. Bring the broth to a boil.
• Mix baking mix and milk in a bowl to make a sticky dough. Drop by spoonfuls into the boiling broth. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer dumplings for 10 minutes; uncover and simmer until dumplings are set, about 10 more minutes. For chewier dumplings, boil a few minutes longer. Remove dumplings from the broth with a slotted spoon and transfer to a serving bowl.
• Serve pork with cooked kraut and dumplings on the side; spoon thickened broth over dumplings.

BISQUICK DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl add Bisquick mix and milk stirring until a soft dough forms.
• Drop mixture by spoonfuls onto boiling stew and reduce heat.
• Cook dumplings uncovered for 10 minutes. Cover pot and cook an additional 10 minutes. Serve immediately.

SAUERKRAUT AND DUMPLINGS RECIPE

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add all other ingredients except for the sauerkraut; mix with a fork until all ingredients are combined. Dough should be stiff enough so a dumpling holds it shape fairly well when you drop it from a spoon. If the dumpling spreads too much add a little more flour. Add the sauerkraut to a large skillet and heat it until bubbling. Turn it down to a simmer and then drop the dumpling dough from a large spoon by pushing it off with your finger. Make the dumplings any size you desire. Just know that the dumplings will almost double in size when they are cooked. Once all the dumplings are on the sauerkraut, cover the pan and cook at a simmer for 15 minutes. Turn the dumplings over, cover and simmer for an additional 10 to 15 minutes. Serve the sauerkraut and dumplings together.

BISQUICK DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Mix bisquick and milk until soft dough forms. Drop dough by spoonfuls onto stew (do not drop directly into liquid). Cook uncovered over low heat 10 minutes. Cover and cook 10 minutes longer.

SAUERKRAUT, SAUSAGE AND DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• 1. Slice the sausage into 1 to 2" pieces and brown in a 1 tablespoon of butter. Remove from pan. To the pan add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and slowly saute sliced onions and thinly sliced apples. When soft add brown sugar and cook for awhile longer until caramelized.
• 2. Transfer to a dutch oven and add the drained sauerkraut and wine to the pan. Add the sausage and potatoes (if using) and cook slowly, covered, for up to two hours.
• 3. Lightly mix the baking mix and milk together. Bring the sauerkraut mixture to a light boil and drop small dumplings (about 3-4 tablespoon size) atop. Let cook for 10 minutes, uncovered. Remove cover, lower heat and cook for 10 minutes more until dumplings are done. Enjoy!

ONE POT SAUERKROUT, PORK AND DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Pour Sauerkraut into a large (wide) pot.
• Add the pork, (I use country style ribs but any cut up pork is good) to the sauerkraut. Add water to cover the sauerkraut and pork.
• Cover and cook about 45 minutes or until pork is tender.
• Mix the baking mix (bisquick) and milk in a bowl.
• Drop by spoonfuls into the Kraut and pork.
• Cook uncovered for 10 minutes.
• Cover and cook 10 more minutes.
• Remove the beautiful light dumplings to a serving dish.
• Drain kraut and pork and place in another serving dish.
• Sit back and enjoy all the compliments!

SLOW COOKER SAUERKRAUT AND DUMPLINGS WITH BEER BRAISED KIELBASA

Steps:

• Add kielbasa, sauerkraut (including liquid), and beer to 5-6 quart slow cooker, cover and cook on high for 4 hours. The cooking time is flexible, you can cook it for as short as 2 hours or it can sit all afternoon if needed. (if cooking all day, set it on low).
• 30 minutes before serving, place biscuit dough rounds in a single layer in the slow cooker. Only use enough to cover, leaving roughly an inch of space inbetween rounds to allow for expansion as it cooks.
• Place the lid back on the slow cooker. After the dough is cooked through, serve and enjoy!

PORK LOIN, SAUERKRAUT AND DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• For the pork loin, pressure cooker method:
• In a pressure cooker set on high heat, brown the pork in the oil on all sides. Season with salt and pepper. Add about 6 cups water or broth so there is about 1 1/2 inches. For larger roasts, add 1/2-inch more liquid per pound. Pressure cook until the pork is extremely tender and falling apart, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. (This is important to the dish.) Remove the meat from the pot and reserve the juices.
• For the pork loin, oven method:
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Pierce the pork with a knife and insert the slices of garlic different parts of the roast. Season with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a heavy cast iron pot over high heat. Sear the pork until brown. Add the beef broth and vermouth (this will also deglaze the pan) and cover the pot with a lid. Bake, basting frequently with the pan juices, until the pork is pink and juicy inside but not dry and gray, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Be sure to periodically check your roast, as you want the roast to be pink and juicy inside, not dry and gray. Remove the meat from the pot and reserve the juices.
• Combine the cornstarch with 1/4 cup cold water. Slowly whisk the cornstarch mixture into the pan juices to thicken the juices so they will stick to the pork and dumplings. (However, Grandma and Grandpa preferred the traditional thinner juice.)
• For the potato dumplings:
• While the meat is cooking, prepare the dumplings. Place a pot of water to boil.
• Place the potato flakes in a large bowl. Place the milk, butter and 2 cups water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat. Pour the potato mixture over the potato flakes and whip with a fork until smooth. Let cool.
• Add the eggs to the potatoes and mix well. Add 2 cups of flour and mix until a dough forms, adding more flour if needed.
• Turn the dough out onto a floured bread board and knead in more flour until the dough is stiff and doesn't stick to your hands. Break off small pieces and form into flat balls, drop into rapidly boiling water. Bring back to a boil and cook 10 to 15 minutes. Cut 1 and if it isn't sticky inside, they are done.
• For the sauerkraut:
• Heat the oil in a heavy bottomed pot. Add the onion and cook until transparent. Add the sauerkraut, vermouth, beef bouillon to taste, caraway seeds to taste, salt (not much) and pepper. Simmer until the flavors meld, 30 to 45 minutes. Serve along side the pork.
• For serving:
• This was usually done homestyle. Place some pork, a dumpling (cut into hearty, bit-size pieces) and some sauerkraut on a plate. Then pass and spoon or drizzle some of the reserved meat juices over the pork and dumplings--this ties everything all together and gives you a forkful of flavor in each bite.
• There you have it: hearty, stick-to-your-ribs pork, dumplings and sauerkraut--an excellent dish on a cold, frosty night!
