NOTE: If you think there is too much grease you can skim it off or what I do is to take some paper towel, fold it and using tongs to hold the paper towel, drag it over the top doing this as many times as you think necessary. I would do this before I add the green beans and dumplings. Variations: I sometimes add baby northern white beans, yummy! I also have added spinach or kale at the last minute. It is delish, and when I add any leafy greens to a pot I always add some fresh grated nutmeg, about 1 teaspoon or so.
