Really good base recipe, but had to make a few alterations. The most important alteration was timing!!! This does NOT take a mere 2.5 hours, people --- you need to clear your calendar for about 3.5-4 hours to make this properly!!! The main problem is the potatoes. Perhaps if you added them earlier it might be ready in 1/2 hour, but you really need a good hour or so (over low heat, obviously). Also, the dumplings took much longer than the 20 mins as suggested by the author - it was more like 40 mins. That being said, the recipe itself was fantastic, and I only added some celery seed and more salt to it. Also, I made chicken pot pie with the leftovers!!! It turned out delicious as well. Just unroll a pie crust into a pie plate, add leftovers, seal the top, cut slits (so heat can escape), brush with egg wash and pop in a 375 oven for about 40 mins. Excellent the day of and several days later. This is definitely a keeper!!!
