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.

Excellent Finger Food
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for superbowl and it was a hit! I made the chili exactly the same and also added Cumin and Mexican Chorizo. I... wish I had added some jalapeno or cayanne because it wasn't spicy at all but still very good. (I have not had a lot of chili in my life so I can't comment on how authentic it is, but it was good for my guests) The chili cups were such a great presentation and I also liked that it was a clean way to eat chili without worrying about dirtying bowls and spoons. I did not make the biscuit mix I bought Grand Biscuits and was able to peel 3 layers from each biscuit, so a can of 8 made 24 cups. I used a mini muffin tray and it was the perfect size. I had no issues with the bowls getting soggy, they held up all day. Lastly, I did not use a dutch oven I used my pasta pot and it worked well, I have a Hard Anodized set and it browned and cooked perfectly in there.Read more

fun as an appetizer
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

i used a mini muffin tin and and pilsbury biscuits and made the bowls appetizer sized. They were a huge hit, the trick is to... make the chili first then make the biscuits so u can serve them right out of the oven... if u let them sit they get hard and suck.... i don't understand why one would make the large chili bowls as u can't eat it with the chili (without spilling the chili), as app size u just pop the whole thing in our mouth and enjoy both flavors together!Read more

Cornbread Crust?
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Why not use cornbread mix instead of the baking mix to make the crusts?

Haven't tried yet, but will soon!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I think I'm going to try this recipe with canned biscuits to make it a quicker weeknight meal. I was also thinking that I... recalled there being a cornmeal type canned biscuit that may work well (since chili and corn go hand in hand). Granted, it's probably not as good as from scratch, but I am going to try it this way, the time saving would make up for it I'm sure! I agree with another reviewer that pickled jalapenos on top would be great, and of course cheese! Everything can be made better with cheese! :)Read more
