Glad your family loved the recipe, Sarah! 🙂

Hi Rachael! Good question (and music to my ears to hear hubby is so precise!!!). I used a 1 cup scoop and literally scoops chili and dumplings into each portion. If you use a large enough pot, the chili isn’t too deep in the pot and it makes this an easier endeavor. The longer you simmer, the volumes goes down, too. I remember thinking it would serve more than it actually did after simmering for so long. But that’s what helped to make that flavor so good! I hope that helps – let me know what you guys think!
