" I imagine there are 101 uses for packaged baking mix, starting with the 6 over here and the recipes on the Bisquick web site. I went back-of-the-box and made biscuits with my baking mix, pairing them with a creamy chicken stew for something resembling chicken pot pie. I had planned to make dumplings, but realized that the kids wouldn&amp;#039;t touch a dumpling with a 10-foot pole: too wet and &amp;quot;slimy,&amp;quot; they&amp;#039;d say. Baking up the biscuits separately allowed the kids to eat the way they like, with nothing touching. I still have a big box of baking mix to use up, though, so if you have a recipe you love, please share it below in the comments.  My husband is the biscuit man in the house, so I set him to work on the biscuits while I made the stew. He followed the directions on the back of the package, mixing 2 1/4 cups baking mix with 2/3 cup milk, but the mixture was so wet that he added more baking mix until something dough-like had formed. He folded it over a few times, then patted to 1 1/2 inches thick, cut out 2 1/2-inch biscuits and set them on a baking sheet to wait for the oven to preheat to 450F.   Meanwhile, I made the stew. I melted 2 tablespoons butter in my new favorite pan, a nonstick Bialetti that you&amp;#039;ll be hearing a lot more about in a week or two. I added diced carrots (3 small) and celery (2 stalks) and minced 1/2 an onion to add to the pan. Cooked until the vegetables were soft.  Next I mixed 2 tablespoons flour with the vegetables and cooked a bit, stirring frequently. I added some dried thyme and about a cup of chicken stock. I brought the mixture to a simmer, adding more chicken stock to get the consistency I was looking for, something thick but still liquid. At this point I popped the biscuits in the oven to cook for about 10 minutes, until there&amp;#039;s no more raw dough in their centers (the tops of mine were really browned). I added chopped cooked chicken and 1/4 cup milk to the stew and heated through. (I didn&amp;#039;t have any leftover chicken so I poached a large breast and used that, but I would recommend making this when you have leftovers or a rotisserie chicken in the fridge.) Served the stew on top of split biscuits. I really enjoyed the biscuits and stew and jealously guarded the leftovers so I would get them for lunch the next day. The vegetables didn&amp;#039;t get really soft, and I found the little bit of crunch left in the celery a nice addition. My kids ate the biscuits with honey and butter and the stew separately; they were deeply suspicious about the bits of thyme that speckled the stew until I showed them what a fresh thyme sprig looked like. They still didn&amp;#039;t want to eat the speckles, but they were reassured that I wasn&amp;#039;t trying to poison them and ate a few bites of stew. Todd had 2 helpings. He said the biscuits weren&amp;#039;t as good as his homemade version, but they were a lot easier and probably worth the convenience for a weeknight dinner. Seriously, though, if you have a great recipe that uses baking mix, tell me about it. I see a few casseroles out there on the web, but I haven&amp;#039;t zeroed in on one that sounds truly delicious.
