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!

My grandchildren thought this was a special treat I made just for them. I made a lot of points with them for this.

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

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! :

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?!

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.

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!!

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.

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