Win-It Wednesday: Hungry Jack Pantry Party Kit (10 Winners!)

Join me every week for Win-It Wednesday. I’ll be posting 24-hour giveaways at 8 a.m., 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. ET to give you plenty of chances to win!

Hungry Jack and Adam Gertner from the Food Network are challenging you to “Use Up the Box” and create your own recipes using Hungry Jack Pancake Mix, Instant Mashed Potatoes or Syrup. Who knew you could do so much with those three things? From salad dressings and glazes made with the syrup to fruit-filled breakfast and dessert crepes using the pancake mix, my mouth was watering as I thought of all the ways I could incorporate Hungry Jack into my everyday cooking when I started to think outside the box.

To enter, submit your recipe to Hungry Jack’s “Use Up the Box” website in any of the three categories before 12/17, with a grand prize of $6,000 towards a year’s worth of groceries and two runner-up prizes of $100 in each recipe category.

I thought this recipe for Beef Stew with Herbed Potato Dumplings was perfect for the cooling autumn weather and so inventive. I’d never considered using both potato flakes and the pancake mix to make dumplings, and they are sure to warm up mouths both big and small after an afternoon of playing in or raking up the fallen leaves.

Beef Stew with Herbed Potato Dumplings

BEEF STEW
7 tbsps. Pillsbury BEST All Purpose Flour, divided
1 tsp. seasoned salt
1 1/2 lbs. stew beef, cut into 1-inch cubes

1 tsp. minced garlic
1 bay leaf
1 (16 oz.) pkg. frozen vegetables for stew

POTATO DUMPLINGS

1/2 cup water
1 cup Hungry Jack Instant Mashed Potato Flakes
1/2 cup Hungry Jack Buttermilk Complete Pancake & Waffle Mix (Just Add Water)
