I don’t know if it would be better or worse but sweet fruit and fluffy dough can’t be too disappointing Maybe a berry mixture with apple juice. Pull the dumplings after they cook then simmer down to desired sauce thickness and add the dumplings back?
If you are interested, there’s a traditional American dessert called a [grunt or slump](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/blueberry-grunt-recipe)-which is cooked fruit with steamed dumplings on top. It’s delicious with ice cream.
My favorite is a twist on chicken and dumplings. It’s chicken Fricot. There is diced andouille sausage stuffed in the dumplings.

My grandmother made a baked pork ribs that was fully cooked, then covered with a thin layer of sliced pineapple, baked until pineapple sugars are starting to caramelize. That was fully covered with Dropped Dumplings.
She'd tightly cover the Dumplings and put in the oven.
Once the Dumplings were fluffy throughout, it's ready.
Sometimes she would place apple slices on top of the cooked Dumplings.
I was reading a recipe recently for a vegetable stew where you drop dumplings on top. But the recipe specified that there have to be a lot of large pieces of vegetables up to the surface of the broth and actually rising slightly above the broth. So then when you drop the dumplings on top, they don't dissolve into the broth. SO I think anything will work where there is a lower level of the broth and higher pieces of some structure like chunks in the stew or whatever.
We always make a turkey pie with all the Thanksgiving leftovers. In a large, oven safe skillet heat up plenty of gravy, stuffing, carrots & potatoes, shredded turkey, top with drop biscuits and bake until it's done.
Oh i also made a beef, saurkraut cheese combo with biscuits on top and i loved it!
Starts around 19 minutes, I don't have an exact recipe but you can get the jist!

I've done the same concept but with spicy tomato soup
The same way you might dip a sandwich in your tomato soup but the dumplings are included and super yummy
beef stew - same thing, different flavor.
Beef stew or you could also use in place of mashed potatoes on Shepard's pie.
I've never made it but I've seen it done with berries. So more of a dessert
Dollop the dough on any stewed fruit and sprinkle with sugar. You have a basic cobbler.
I guess I think of cobbler as being baked and this is cooked in a pot on the stovetop. But yes, you're right!

That sounds good to me!
Grunt, not cobbler. Similar, but cobblers are baked, and grunts are steamed like chicken and dumplings.
Never heard of them before. Now I’ve got a new rabbit hole to explore and I just so happen to have a bunch of wild blackberries RIP diet
Ooh interesting. Like the other commenter, about to dive into this new-to-me world of grunts.
They're so good. Enjoy!
My grandmother used to drop dough into boiling blueberries then scoop them into bowls, she called it shoe blacking.
I made chilli with cheese & jalepeno dumplings recently. Soooo good.

I was going to say chicken pot pie, but that might be too close to chicken and dumplings?

That sounds really interesting! I'll have to do how I can swing that one.
I sometimes make lamb stew with dumplings. It is great!
Soup, but make sure it’s shortly before serving and also, add egg, or the dumplings will cause a slurried broth.
Stewed tomatoes.
This is a really good one I've done a couple times. https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/8700/chicken-and-biscuit-casserole/
Chili
Fruit cobble topping.
Cabbage soup
Topping for a chicken or beef pot pie
A shepherds pie?
fry the dumpling style biscuits and then make biscuits and gravy?

Bake them, cut them in half and use them for breakfast sandwiches.
Shepherd's pie- instead of mashed potatoes. Add some shredded extra sharp cheddar
I love beans and dumplings.
Beef stew

Strawberry shortcake
I put it over pot pies when I dont feel like maming a crust.
