Poblano-Turkey Sausage Chili

"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

"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

"This is such a great recipe to keep in your fall-winter rotation. I change it up each time I make it depending on what veggies and meat I have. One of our favorite additions is red potatoes and mushrooms. Try adding grilled chicken for extra protein!" —jldillon

"Delicious! We had it for dinner tonight and loved it. It was more spicy than I expected, but not overwhelmingly so. The sweet potatoes were a nice addition to the creamy grits, which were a lovely balance with the spicy shrimp." —WildJoy

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
