When the weather starts to get a bit frosty I enjoy making up big batches of soups and stews. There is just something so comforting about eating soup when it’s cold outside. I enjoy piling my bowl high with crackers, too! However, the soup we are making today doesn’t require you to get the cracker barrel out as it contains homemade dumplings. Yum! have you ever heard of beef soup cooked in the slow cooker with dumplings? I like to think of this recipe as more of a stew, actually. The broth gets pretty thick once you incorporate the dumplings. Well, at least it did for me. Anyway, give this amazing recipe a shot!

Slow cooker soups are comforting dinners. Slow Cooker Beef Dumpling Soup is an easy slow cooker soup recipe that serves six people. There’s a little chopping involved at the beginning, and then you just let it cook. Though you can eat this any time of year, it’s especially comforting in the colder months. – Recipe Lion

As my grandparents began to get up there in years they received help from a public assistance program known as “Meals on Wheels.” As a little girl, i can remember waiting with my wheelchair bound grandma by the door for her delivery. The man that delivered the meals looked like he should be receiving the food as well due to his age but you know? He just kept right on a truckin’! Quite impressive! Anyway, one of the dishes they would bring once a month was swiss steak. My grandma would share hers with me and that would be my first introduction to this marvelous treat.

I loved how the flavors complemented one another. So yummy! This recipe is much like the Meals On Wheels recipe. The meat is tender and flavorful and smothered in a delectable tomato sauce. perfect for a weeknight meal. Enjoy!

Old fashioned comfort food never goes out of style, and this recipe for Melt-In-Your-Mouth Slow Cooked Swiss Steak proves it! The budget-friendly slow cooker recipe uses inexpensive cuts of beef that are cooked all day until they are fork tender and practically melt in your mouth. The delicious tomato sauce adds great flavor, and preparing this Swiss steak recipe is as easy as dumping the ingredients in your slow cooker and letting it cook itself! Serve this delicious meal with rice, pasta or potatoes. – Recipe Lion

I have to say, this is the first casserole that I’ve ever come across that incorporates poppy seeds into the mix. Why, just the other day I was watching “The Wizard of Oz” with my family and thought to myself, “Wow, I wonder what I can make with those seeds?” during the poppy scene. Yes, I’m weird and I think of things like that haha!

Quick Tip: This recipe is very easy to double when taking to a potluck dinner or feeding a crowd.

Since moving to Pennsylvania from Michigan, I’ve learned how to cook quite a few new and exciting foods. For example, I never really knew what apple dumplings were before moving here or how to make “gobs” as they like to call them around these parts. Where I come from, we call them “whoopie pies.” The folks in western PA sure do love their casseroles and for good reason, too! They are spectacular. A lot of the influence behind casserole dishes such as ham and noodle are the Amish people. For centuries, the Amish have been cooking up wonderful dishes that are staples in their households. Ham and noodle casserole is one of these delicious staples.

I’ve made quite a few Amish friends since moving out here and they have graciously taught me how to make a few of their amazing dishes. I attend a Mennonite church so I have access to a variety of different people. I really enjoy how the ladies have embraced me and taught me some wonderful tricks to utilize around the kitchen. i can recall telling some of my new friends that i never seem to have time to get wholesome dinners on the table on certain days and they opened my eyes up to the wonderful world of casseroles. I hope you enjoy this delicious Pennsylvania Dutch ham and noodle casserole as much as my family and I did.
