This year, General Mills added a new category to its Pillsbury Bake-Off, where people could vote at the Bakeoff.com Web site for their favorite recipe.

One of the voters, Tonya Roope of Alameda, Calif., was randomly chosen to come to the Bake-Off. If the recipe she voted for turned out to be the top vote-getter, Roope would also win $1 million. Unfortunately for Roope, she hadn't voted for the Pineapple Black-Bean Enchiladas made by Mary Iovinelli Buescher.

Besides netting Buescher $10,000 as America's Favorite Recipe, the dish also won a $10,000 3-A-Day of Dairy Award for being delicious, nutritious and containing at least one serving of milk, cheese or yogurt per recipe serving.
