Potato Soup Done Easy

The easiest potato soup recipe ever! No peeling, no chopping, no problem!

1 package frozen southern-style hash browns or 2 packages Simply Potatoes (found in refrigerator section)

2 cartons low sodium chicken broth

1 package country gravy mix (the white gravy, not brown and NOT sausage)

1 can cream of potato or cream of onion soup

Mix chicken broth and potatoes in large pot, cook on medium heat for 10 minutes or until hot. Remove one cup of soup mixture and mix with gravy mix. Add to pot. Add cream soup, stirring well. Cook on medium heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until potatoes are tender. Garnish with topping of choice, such as cheese, chopped bacon or chopped onion. Makes 6 servings.

Baked Brie

Another one from my mom!

1 wheel brie cheese, rind removed

1 tablespoon jelly of choice (I use homemade strawberry)

2 teaspoons brown sugar

1 Pillsbury pie crust (refrigerator case)

Place cheese in pie crust, top cheese with jelly. Fold pie crust over top of cheese and jelly. Place in brie baking dish or a small round ovenproof dish. Sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake on 375 for 20-25 minutes until cheese melted and pie crust browned.

If you want a less sweet brie, roasted red peppers can replace the jelly..also good!

4 ingredient Chili Beans

Can it be done? Yes it can! 4 ingredient Chili Beans and they are YUMMY!

1 pound hamburger cooked and drained

2 cans diced tomatoes

1 or 2 cans chili beans or kidney beans, depending on taste, drained

1 packet chili seasoning, such as McCormicks

Mix all ingredients together and place in crockpot or large pot. Cook on low for 2 hours.
