3 Bean Chili with a Biscuit Bowl.
Well, its been getting chillier in the evenings up here in the state of Michigan. Fall is finally upon us, soon it will be time to rake the leaves, carve a pumpkin, and perhaps shovel some early snow. But for a foodie, this also means it is becoming soup/stew season! In this first fall installment, Im making chili, and serving it in super easy biscuit bowls!
Ingredients (Chili): One Medium white onion; diced, One Green Bell Pepper; Diced, 2lbs ground beef and two tubes breakfast sausage; browned together, two packets of chili seasoning (I used chilio by Frenches), two cans of diced tomatoes, one large can of peeled whole tomatoes; sliced, one can of black beans, one can of red beans, one can of kidney beans; all drained. Ground cumin, chili powder, any other desired spice, to taste.
So for starters, in a frying pan, brown the ground beef and breakfast sausage together. Drain it,
and set it aside.
Next, spray the bottom of your pot with cooking spray. add the onions and green pepper and saute them briefly 2-3 minutes over medium heat.
after they have started to cook down, add all the canned ingredients,
and the sausage/beef mixture, and the chili packets.
I also added a can of water. bring it all to a boil, and then let it simmer as long as possible. Make sure you taste it as it simmers.
Biscuit Bowls: Let me just say, I cheated. I ran out of time to make biscuits from scratch, so I used canned. But you can use any simple biscuit recipe. then, after you form them into balls, press them down over any greased oven proof bowl shaped object.
My sister Terri had these little mini bunt pans that worked perfect. Some recipes even say to grease the bottom of a cupcake pan, flip it upside down and press them on the cups. Its really up to you. Just follow the biscuit directions that you have for baking. Just make sure you spray the object and the pan you put them on.
And here's what they looked like when they were done.
When they have cooled enough to where you can handle them, spoon in some chili, top with what you like, and enjoy!
some green onion...and a few slices of jalapeno, and there you have it. Man it was good.
Even my brother was on skype checking it out!
