Ingredients

Vegetable oil cooking spray
2 cups biscuit baking mix (recommended: Bisquick)
2/3 cup whole milk
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Flour, for dusting the work surface
1 pound ground chuck
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
2 (14-ounce) cans Mexican-style stewed tomatoes
1 (15-ounce) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon salt

Toppings:

Shredded sharp Cheddar
Sour cream
Sliced green onions (white and green parts)
Corn chips

Directions

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Invert a muffin tin and spray the underside with vegetable oil cooking spray.

Stir together the baking mix, milk, and cayenne. Shape into a ball. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead 3 or 4 times. Divide the ball into 6 pieces. Roll each piece into a 6-inch circle. Place a dough circle over the back of each muffin cup. Press around the cup to form a bowl shape. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until lightly browned. Let cool slightly. Remove the biscuit bowls and reserve.

Brown the ground chuck over medium heat in a Dutch oven. Add the onion and green pepper and continue to cook until the meat is completely browned and the vegetables are tender. Drain off any fat and discard. Stir in the tomatoes, beans, chili powder, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 35 minutes.

When ready to serve, spoon the hot chili into the biscuit bowls. Garnish with shredded cheese, sour cream, sliced green onions, and corn chips.

quick, easy, yummy
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I was happy to find a chili recipe that didn't call for 4+ hours of cook time. I've made chili a ton of other times and can... honestly say this was the best. I used Paula's recipe as a template. (I always make changes to fit the tastes of my family). I used all the ingredients (with the exception of chili powder and corn chips) and cooking methods Paula used but added fresh garlic, a bay leaf, mesquite seasoning, black pepper, coriander, Mrs. Dash hot and spicy spice mixture, and cayenne. (The recipe already calls for cayenne but not for the chili, it's used in the biscuit bowl.) I didn't make the biscuit bowl. Why take in unneccessary carbs when the chili is already so filling?!Read more

Lots of Flavor
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this over the weekend for my family and the chili was a big hit - the leftovers were gone in a day! The biscuit bowls... - not so much, even though I liked it. If you don't eat the chili fast enough, the "bowl" does get soggy. My husband liked it so much, he's going to try making it for the family himself next time. I did add some additional seasonings after tasting it the first time (hamburger seasoning, cumin, old bay and fresh garlic) and I also added some sour cream and grated cheddar in the chilli as well as on top. I loathe green bell peppers, so I substituted it for a red bell pepper instead. I don't have a high tolerance for really spicy or hot food, so a lot of chili dishes are just over the top for me, but this recipe offered a lot of flavor without burning my mouth out.Read more

Super Easy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love this recipe! I haven't had much success with chili in the past, but had to try it. Paula hasn't steered me wrong yet!... It is very easy, and was a big hit with my boyfriend and his daughter. The hardest part is the biscuit bowls, but they are worth the effort. I make cornbread instead for the leftovers (when there are any!). I add two hot italian sausages to the ground chuck and kick up the chili powder just a bit. I also add a tiny bit of cayenne as we all like the heat. It makes a great meal, and is perfect for potlucks, tailgate parties, camping, etc. Thanks again Paula!! Read more

Very Tasty
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I added a bit more chili powder, a bay leaf, and red pepper flakes for some extra heat. I'm a novice cook, so while this... might be obvious to others, it wasn't to me: you should puree the stewed tomatoes or chop them into smaller pieces. Read more

Very, Very Good

I think this will also be good with pickled jalapenos as a topping. Thanks Paula!

Very Tasty!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is a keeper. Very tasty and this would even be good without the biscuit bowls. My boyfriend loved this recipe and he... doesn't like vegetables and stewed tomatoes, but loved them in this chili. I will be making this numerous times for the family.Read more
