Bisquick to the Rescue - Betty Crocker
Bisquick Contest Winners Make Mealtime a Breeze
Between driving home from work and shuttling the kids to their events, most cooks are time-pressed during the dinner hour. You want to provide loved ones a supper that's both wholesome and hearty. But how do you offer from-scratch flavor with little fuss? The winners of our Better with Bisquick Recipe Contest deliciously prove that Bisquick is the key to preparing family-friendly foods that are fast, fresh and fabulous!
Grand-prize winner Joni Hilton takes plain pancakes to a whole new level by combining Bisquick with sour cream and two kinds of chocolate.

These incredible hotcakes will wake up tired taste buds at breakfast— but they're so indulgent, you could also serve them for dessert.
nunf202.jpgFor a main course that your family will fall for hook, line and sinker, try Veronica Callaghan's Spiced Tilapia With Honeyed Mango-Lime Sauce. Bisquick lends a crunchy coating to the fish in this super second-place recipe.
Buffalo Chicken Pie, a third-place finisher from Jamie Jones, captures the zesty taste of hot wings and is topped with a golden brown Bisquick crust.

Emergency What's For Dinner?
Plan
What's for dinner?
is an age-old question that has been asked of home cooks for generations. All too often, it can put people in panic mode, especially as the clock on the kitchen wall ticks closer to the dinner hour.
By keeping boxes of Bisquick and other staple items on hand, though, meal preparation is easy—and enjoyable—even on the busiest of weeknights.
Bisquick Meals In Minutes
From pancakes or waffles in the morning to a potpie at dinner, Bisquick is your around-the-clock kitchen companion for simply delicious meals. Cooks from across the country love to share their favorite recipes that rely on Bisquick to turn out down-home dinners in a dash.
The emergency
meal idea actually started on bettycrocker.com. Readers were asked to send their favorite emergency meal idea and found that Bisquick is a true hero when it comes to quick meals. The stories and quotes that accompanied the recipes are a true delight. When submitting her recipe for Macaroni And Cheese Pie, Anna of Illinois wrote, Kids love it, and its quick! All it takes is Bisquick mix and some easy on-hand ingredients—it's dinner!
A popular recipe is the Gluten Free Impossibly Easy Cheeseburger Pie. There are many great reasons to make this recipe but Rachelle of Arizona summed it up: Whenever I'm stuck for supper and I ask my husband what he really wants, he'll ask for Cheeseburger Pie.
We also read this from Margie from Idaho: Use lean sausage instead of the ground beef in the Cheeseburger Pie and serve it for breakfast.
You can see how truly versatile Bisquick and these recipes are!
Plus, we love that Bisquick makes great pancakes and waffles. About the Apple Oven Pancake, Elaine from Kentucky said, For breakfast, this is simply the easiest and best ever!
So when you need a quick meal, be sure to turn to Bisquick and find your favorite emergency meal to brag about!

Bisquick Goes Gluten-Free
What Is Celiac Disease?
Celiac disease is a digestive disorder affecting nearly 2 million Americans. For those suffering with the condition, it causes damage to the small intestine and interferes with nutrient absorption when foods containing protein glutens (found in barley, rye and wheat) are consumed. The only way to control celiac disease is through diet.
nunf401.jpgTips For Gluten-Free Living
Unlike some other digestive conditions, there is no magic pill for curing celiac disease. The only way to manage it is by watching the foods you eat. At first, it may seem a little daunting. But with time, patience and planning, gluten-free cooking will soon become second nature.
If you are cooking gluten free, always read labels to make sure each recipe ingredient is gluten free. Products and ingredients can change.
• Turn to others. Once you're diagnosed with celiac disease, ask your doctor for resource information about how to live with the condition. Consider joining a support group online or in your community.
• Shop the perimeter. Purchase naturally gluten-free products by shopping for fresh produce, meat and dairy products. The more processed the food, the more likely it contains gluten proteins.
• Pay attention in the aisles. Grocery store shelves are loaded with products containing gluten, but gluten-free items are available. Do research online and in gluten-free cookbooks for the types of products you can and cannot eat. Keep the list with you while you shop.
• Ask questions. Many large supermarket chains offer printouts of the gluten-free products they carry. If you're unsure about an item, contact the manufacturer.
• Read labels carefully. Gluten proteins can appear in items you would never expect. Many websites provide lists of ingredients that are gluten-based.
• Clean your kitchen. Avoid cross-contamination by thoroughly washing utensils, cutting boards and other surfaces that have come in contact with foods containing gluten. Even the slightest bit of contact can trigger a reaction.
• Learn how to eat out. Research restaurants before going out to dinner because many chains are beginning to accommodate gluten-free diners. Whether you're at a dining establishment or at someone's home, ask questions about the food preparation before digging in.
Favorite Bisquick Gluten-Free Recipes
With Bisquick Gluten Free, people afflicted with celiac disease can now enjoy their favorite Bisquick recipes worry-free—without sacrificing flavor. Best of all, the whole family can delight in the dishes so cooks no longer need to make separate gluten-free foods for certain members of the family. Below are signature Bisquick recipes prepared with Bisquick Gluten Free mix. You'll find additional gluten-free dishes throughout the book.
