Poblano-Turkey Sausage Chili

Credit: Photo: Johnny Autry; Styling: Cindy Barr, Lindsey Lower

"This is my husband and my all time favorite chili! The poblano peppers give it a little kick, but mostly add to the richness of the flavors! It is easy to spice up a little bit more if that's how you like it. I now keep the ingredients on hand to make it anytime we're in the mood for a great, warming meal!" —leaogozelec

Pear and Prosciutto Pizza

"I absolutely love this recipe. I've made it several times, including an appetizer at my bridal shower. I serve it with butternut squash or tomato basil soup to make it a meal. I use the Pillsbury thin crust (follow the directions on the package), and bake it with cornmeal on the outside to give it a nice crisp crust. Yum!" —sciencegirl

Peanut Butter Caramel Corn

"Made this for our annual Halloween dinner party. It was well received by our guests, one of whom is on a gluten-free diet. Used two bags of Pop Secret 94% fat-free microwave popcorn. I like the sweet/salty combo! And it stayed crispy for several days in a ziploc bag." —KristieV

Cheesy Chili Hash Brown Bake

Credit: Photo: Jennifer Davick; Styling: Amy Burke

"Made this for my family of 6. Used the ground turkey and veggie chili with beans. Will definitely make this again. We all agreed the hash browns, after they brown, need to be mixed up with the chili. Then put the cheese on top to melt. I made the recipe in a 9x13 pan. One recipe fit the pan nicely. We even had a little bit left over for lunch the next day. There was a fight for it though!" —Terre43
