Recipe: Cheesy Chili Hash Brown Bake

If you’re looking for a lightening-fast chili, you’ve found it. Cheesy Chili Hash Brown Bake comes together with 12 minutes hands-on time and requires only five ingredients: ground beef or turkey, a can of original sloppy joe sauce, a can of chili with beans, half a package frozen country-style shredded hash brown, and two cups shredded Cheddar cheese. We tested with Manwich Original Sloppy Joe Sauce and Hormel Chili with Beans. Once it’s ready, spoon the chili into eight individual ramekins and bake until browned and crisp. Alternatively, you can bake the chili mixture in a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish as directed. 

Recipe: Master Hash

This hearty hash packs a whole lot of flavor into a dish that clocks in at only 442 calories per serving. You can substitute leftover chicken or pork for steak but, don’t be fooled, potatoes are the star here. The recipe calls for three tablespoons instant potato flakes (such as Hungry Jack) and a whopping 1 1/2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes. From there, we added red bell pepper, finely diced carrot, thyme, onion, and parsley. You have the option of topping each serving with a poached egg. The gooey yolk makes for a decadent topping to the hash. 

Recipe: Smoked Trout-Apple Hash

Bring campfire cooking to your dinner table with our Smoked Trout-Apple Hash recipe. Serve with a simple green salad dressed with a light vinaigrette for a complete meal. Opt for a few simple swaps to make it your own. Sweet potatoes can be used in place of the russets and other tart apple varieties make a good alternative for the Granny Smiths. Smoked bluefish, smoked salmon, or smoked whitefish also work well in place of smoked trout. Squeeze lemon wedges over the hash and serve immediately with sour cream sauce. 

Recipe: Loaded Potato Soup

Not an ounce of flavor was sacrificed to make this lighter potato soup. The only thing you’ll be missing is a few calories. Loaded Potato Soup uses lower-sodium chicken broth, 1% low-fat milk, and reduced fat sour cream to get the ultimate smooth and creamy texture.  Of course, it wouldn’t be potato soup without a topping of Cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and thinly sliced scallions. This soup pulls together quick enough for a busy weeknight. Only twenty minutes and a few ingredients stand between you and a comforting bowl of hearty potato soup. 

Recipe: Summer Corn-and-Golden Potato Chowder

Five full cups of fresh corn kernels are the star of this chowder, but a large Yukon gold potato plays a great supporting role. The potato gives a hearty touch to this light summer soup. Top each bowlful of Summer Corn-and-Golden Potato Chowder with a sprig of thyme. We love serving this soup with a light summer salad for a refreshing weeknight dinner. Our recipe makes 4 to 6 servings, but can easily be stored in a zip top freezer bag in the refrigerator to pull out and reheat at a moment’s notice. 

Recipe: Shrimp-and-New Potato Chowder

There’s a secret to this cooking process: Be sure to immediately reduce heat to medium-low once the soup begins to boil. This will ensure your creamy mixture doesn’t break. When prepping your veggies, cut the onions and potatoes in uniform pieces that will cook evenly. Add shrimp just before the chowder is finished cooking so they don’t overcook. This makes a whopping 2 quarts. If you aren’t cooking for a crowd, freeze the extra portions. Serve with a crusty baguette for a complete (and completely filling) one-dish dinner.
