Betty Crocker "Loaded Mashed" Potatoes Prize Pack {Review & Giveaway}

Betty Crocker{This giveaway is now closed. Congratulations, mike2stacy!}

I'd like to say that the 5:00 pm conversation that I have with my husband harassing him to come home from work and telling him to come up an idea for dinner doesn't happen daily... but it pretty much does.

What do you want to do for dinner?

I don't know. What do you want to do?

I don't know, we've had all of our usuals already this week.

Silence.

Sound familiar? As much as I would love to have a home-cooked dinner on the table every night for my family, it just doesn't happen. Where are the extra hours going to come from to make that possible?

Fortunately, one of the leaders in making it possible to have fast and easy side dishes that taste homemade, Betty Crocker, has given me a way to cut some corners with mealtime with their Betty Crocker "Loaded Mashed" potatoes.

Betty Crocker prize packWith a taste that is just like homemade, new Betty Crocker "Loaded Mashed" potatoes are made with 100% real russet potatoes and a blend of real seasonings and natural flavors like bacon, cheese, chives, and sour cream.

I always appreciate that Betty Crocker makes it so fast and easy to bring their products from the stovetop to the table in just eight minutes... pretty much is the amount of time that I have to spend before someone starts pulling on my leg or loudly complaining that they're "hungrrrrrry!"

instant mashed potatoesAdd Betty Crocker flavored mashed potatoes to your favorite recipe for an ideal addition to any dinner-time dish. With nine tasty varieties to choose from, like Four Cheese and Sweet Potato, and a great value price, these mashed potatoes are the perfect go-to side dish for your favorite meals. And... yum!

And, to make that easier, right now you can print off a 55¢ coupon for one box of new Betty Crocker "Loaded Mashed" potatoes because who wouldn't like to save a little money while enjoying their tasty side dish?

Which, thanks to the generosity of Betty Crocker, is exactly what one person is going to be able to do, because...

One lucky person will win a Betty Crocker prize package including a box of new Betty Crocker "Loaded Mashed" potatoes, a mixing bowl, a magnetic hanging pot holder, a silicone spoonula, and a measuring cup!
