This week has brought us the beginning of Fall, and our weather here in Kentucky is total proof of it! I love this time of year. It's cozy and comforting, plus Thanksgiving and Christmas are right around the corner! What is better than that? Cool days and cooler nights always put me in the mood for some real comfort food. What better comfort food for a Fall day than a pot of chili (with noodles of course!) When I saw this recipe in Southern Living, I instantly wanted to try it. It combined a classic- chili, with hash browns and cheese. This is comfort food to the max! Plus, anything with cheese must be good. I made a few adjustments to the Southern Living version and it was still an amazing outcome! I substituted home made chili for the ground beef and chili with beans, then simply added the hash browns and cheese. I think you will enjoy this! It's even tastier topped with fresh jalapenos!
Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef or turkey - 1 (15.5-oz.) can original sloppy joe sauce
- 1 (15-oz.) can chili with beans
- 1/2 (30-oz.) package frozen country-style shredded hash browns (about 4 cups)
- 2 cups (8 oz.) shredded Cheddar cheese
- Preparation
- 1. Preheat oven to 425°. Brown ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring often, 7 to 10 minutes or until meat crumbles and is no longer pink. Stir in sloppy joe sauce and chili.
- 2. Spoon chili mixture into 8 lightly greased 10-oz. ramekins. Top with frozen hash browns.
- 3. Bake, covered, at 425° for 30 minutes; uncover and bake 10 more minutes or until browned and crisp. Sprinkle with cheese, and bake 5 more minutes or until cheese is melted.
- Note: We tested with Manwich Original Sloppy Joe Sauce and Hormel Chili with Beans. Chili mixture can be baked in a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish as directed.
***My version:
Replace the lean ground beef/turkey and chili with beans with your own chili.
