Dive into this easy TJ’s Dumpling Bake! Frozen dumplings swimming in a rich, velvety mushroom-garlic sauce. It’s the ultimate 375°F comfort food casserole.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (16 ounce) bag Trader Joe’s Frozen Chicken, Turkey, or Vegetable Dumplings (about 2025 count)
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can Cream of Mushroom Soup
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup milk or chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup shredded Mozzarella or Cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or green onions (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, milk or broth, and garlic powder until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
  3. Step 3: Arrange the frozen dumplings in a single layer across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour the soup mixture evenly over the dumplings, ensuring they are coated.
  4. Step 4: Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top of the soup mixture.
  5. Step 5: Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown, and the dumplings are fully heated through.
  6. Step 6: Remove from the oven, let rest for 5 minutes, and garnish with chopped fresh chives or green onions before serving.

Notes

  • Keep leftovers refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days, but skip freezing as the cream sauce tends to separate when thawed.
  • For the best texture, reheat individual servings in an air fryer or toaster oven until the cheese is crispy again.
  • Cut the richness of the bake by serving it alongside a simple, crisp side salad tossed in a bright lemon vinaigrette.
  • Make sure the soup mixture is poured completely over the frozen dumplings; this ensures they cook evenly in the sauce rather than steaming dry.
