Instructions
  1. Combine chicken, tomatoes, broth, onion, bell pepper, garlic, Italian seasoning, pepper, salt, crushed red pepper and bay leaf in a 4-quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on High until the chicken is tender and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken registers 165 degrees F, about 3 hours. Remove and discard the bay leaf. Transfer the chicken to a plate; let rest for 10 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, stir pasta into the mixture in the slow cooker; cover and cook on High until the pasta is tender, about 30 minutes.
  3. Coarsely shred the chicken and stir it back into the soup, along with basil and parsley. Ladle the soup evenly into 6 bowls; sprinkle with Parmesan and garnish with parsley, if desired.

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef, cumin, salt and pepper; cook, stirring often to break up the meat, until evenly browned, about 6 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the beef to a paper-towel-lined plate; do not wipe out the pan. Add 1 tablespoon oil to the drippings in the pan. Add potatoes; cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes begin to caramelize and are tender, about 20 minutes. Transfer the potatoes to the plate with the beef.
  2. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper and poblano; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 6 minutes. Add garlic; cook, stirring often, until aromatic, about 1 minute. Add kale and tomatoes; cook, stirring often, until the kale is wilted, and the tomatoes are heated through, about 3 minutes. Stir in the beef and potatoes. Sprinkle with scallions, if desired.

2 egg cups

Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Generously coat a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
  2. Place hash browns in a kitchen towel. Working over the sink, squeeze and wring out as much water as possible. Transfer the squeezed hash browns to a large bowl and stir in oil and 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Divide the mixture among the muffin cups, pressing it into the bottom and up the sides of each cup to form a crust. (There should be a solid layer in the bottom of the cup, but it's OK if the hash browns don't go completely up the sides.) Generously coat the hash browns with cooking spray.
  3. Bake the hash-brown nests until golden brown on the bottom and edges, 35 to 45 minutes.
  4. Whisk eggs, milk and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Divide sausage, cheese, bell pepper and onion among the baked hash-brown cups and top with the egg mixture (about 2 tablespoons per cup).
  5. Bake until the egg mixture is set, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Run a butter knife around the edges of each cup a few times to loosen completely, then use the knife to lift them out of the tin.
