Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (16.3 oz / 462 g) refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/2 pound (225 g) ground beef or turkey
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) diced onions
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) diced bell peppers (red or green)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14 oz / 400 g) diced tomatoes, drained
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (115 g) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup (115 g) queso blanco or Monterey Jack, shredded
- 1 small jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped (optional)
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch round baking dish or pie pan.
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef or turkey until browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it up as it cooks.
- Add diced onions, bell peppers, and minced garlic; sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Stir in drained diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
- In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.
- Slowly whisk in milk and cook until thickened, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in shredded cheddar and queso blanco until smooth. Add jalapeño and salt to taste.
- Open biscuit can and cut each biscuit into quarters.
- Layer one-third of biscuit pieces in the baking dish. Spoon one-third of chili over biscuits, then drizzle one-third of queso sauce. Repeat layers two more times, finishing with biscuits on top.
- Brush biscuit tops with melted butter mixed with garlic powder and sprinkle chopped cilantro over the top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Let cool for 5 minutes before serving to make pulling apart easier.
- Serve warm and enjoy.
