Carlisle woman’s recipe a Hungry Jack finalist

CARLISLE — Carlisle resident Cindy Sandberg has been selected as a finalist in the third annual Hungry Jack Use Up the Box Recipe Contest. A wide variety of new and delicious recipes that use Hungry Jack products and a few other simple pantry staples were submitted, and it’s easy to see why Sandberg’s Chili Cheese Shepherd’s Pie earned her a top spot for a chance to win a year’s worth of groceries.

With eight children ranging from 6 to 15 years old, Sandberg has always sought to create a comfort food her entire family would enjoy. With that goal in mind, 10 years ago Sandberg whipped up her first Chili Cheese Shepherd’s Pie embedded with southwestern flavors.

During the past decade, she has turned to this economical, delicious and nutritional recipe to satisfy her family’s taste buds. Upon hearing about the Hungry Jack contest, Sandberg entered the pie hoping to share a family favorite with the nation.

Through March 14 residents can help Sandberg win a year’s worth of groceries by voting for her recipe at www.useupthebox.com.

Readers are encouraged to vote because they can not only help their neighborhood at-home cook win, but they can also win daily Hungry Jack prizes to help inspire creative recipes of their own.
