Cheesy Chili Hash Brown Bake

We found this recipe in the Southern Living February 2011 magazine.  Art loved it and I thought it was ok.  It was very easy to prepare. {Recipe and picture below courtesy of Southern Living.}

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.
