Ingredients
For the chili:
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 sweet onion, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 15 oz. can kidney beans, drained
- 28 oz. Canned Crushed tomatoes
- 28 oz. Canned diced tomatoes
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the biscuit topping:
- 1-1/2 cups Kodiak Buttermilk Power Cakes Flapjack & Waffle Mix
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 7 tablespoons butter, cold, cut into cubes
- 1 cup whole milk
Directions
Directions:
- Place a Dutch oven over medium-high heat (campfire or stove).
- Add the beef and cook until golden brown, breaking into crumbles as it cooks.
- Add the onion, bell pepper, and jalapeño to the beef and sauté until onion softens, 2-3 minutes.
- Add the garlic, chili powder, smoked paprika, Worcestershire sauce, and tomato paste to the beef. Sauté for 1 minute.
- Add the crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, and kidney beans to the mixture and bring to a simmer. Let simmer, stirring occasionally for 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Make the biscuit topping:
- Add the Kodiak mix to a bowl and whisk in the baking powder. Cut the butter into the flour with a pastry blender, or using your hands, until it resembles coarse crumbles.
- Stir in the milk until a thick dough forms. Let rest 5 minutes.
- Spoon the biscuit dough over the top of the chili so that the entire top of the chili is covered in dough mounds.
- Place a lid on the Dutch oven and continue to cook for 15 minutes, or until the biscuits are puffed and cooked through.
- Spoon chili and biscuit topping into bowls and serve!
*Alternate: Make this chili at home by placing the Dutch oven uncovered, inside a preheated 400° F oven and cook for 15 minutes, or until biscuit topping is golden brown.
