This year’s 53rd Pillsbury Bake-Off® Contest brought game day excitement straight to the kitchen, inviting home bakers across the nation to create crowd-pleasing recipes worthy of the ultimate tailgate spread. After weeks of fan voting in a Sweet vs. Savory showdown, one standout dish rose above the rest to earn the $50,000 grand prize and the coveted title of Most Valuable Baker (MVB).
