Can you add frozen dumplings to a slow cooker?!


Question: Can you add frozen dumplings to a slow cooker!?
And if so!.!.!. when!? I know it's cheating, but im in training to become a model housewife (hehe - yeah right) I have a chicken chowder in my slow cooker right now! First time I have ever used one and I am excited!. I have the Aunt Bessie frozen dumplings, that you usually add to a casserole to go in the oven, and they usually take 45 mins on about 180 degrees!. I want to know if I can add them to my slow cooker, and if so, when should I add them!?

Thanks in advance!

Yes you certainly can, I do it all the time!.
I have found the best way is to give your slow cooker about an hour to warm up a bit, then put the dumplings in gently just resting on the top!.
I then just let it all stew up together, I do my beef casserole on the minimum setting for 8 hours overnight, every thing comes out great!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

add it in about 30min before the meal is almost cookedWww@FoodAQ@Com

yes just befor about 20 to 25 mins end of cooking timeWww@FoodAQ@Com
