CHILI-STUFFED BISCUITS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the chili: In a large pot over medium heat, combine the ground beef, onion, bell pepper, garlic, and crushed tomatoes. Bring to a simmer. Add the salt, chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne, and kidney beans. Stir to combine, then simmer for 40-45 minutes, until the chili has thickened.

• Add the butter and press into the dry ingredients with your fingertips until the flour resembles coarse sand.
• Add the buttermilk and stir until the dough comes together in a ball.
• Dust a clean surface with the all-purpose flour. Turn the dough out and fold in half, then the dough into a circle and roll out with a rolling pin to about ¼ inch (6 mm) thick.
• Using a 4-inch (10 cm) round cutter, portion the dough into 12 rounds. Re-roll dough and cut more circles as needed.
• Scoop 1 tablespoon of the cooled chili into the center of a round of dough and carefully pinch the edges together around the chili to seal. Repeat with the remaining dough. Place the filled biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down. Save the remaining chili for another use.
• Make the chili butter: In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter, salt, chili powder, cumin, paprika, and cayenne. Microwave in 30-second intervals until the butter is completely melted.
• Brush the tops of the biscuits generously with the chili butter. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese on top.
• Bake the biscuits for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Garnish the biscuits with the scallions and serve with sour cream alongside.
• Enjoy!
