1/3 c. butter

Make your favorite chili - first! If you don't have a favorite, call me and I'll give you a whimps chili recipe.

In medium saucepan bring water and butter to a boil. Remove from heat, stir in milk and potato flakes. Stir in eggs and cheese. Combine flour, salt and pepper. Stir in potato mixture. (Add more flour to form stiff dough. I use at least 1 to 1 1/4 cups of flour depending on the size of the eggs.)

Bring chili to a boil, after having simmered it for hours. (Do this on a day off so you can enjoy the experience.) Drop dumpling dough into boiling chili. Cook, uncovered over medium heat until dumplings are firm (it takes at least 15 minutes for me). Stir every 5 minutes.
