Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey for a lighter option)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 28 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 15 ounces canned tomato sauce
- 15 ounces canned kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 can store-bought refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large oven-safe skillet or casserole dish, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables soften.
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, kidney beans, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the skillet or casserole from heat. Open the can of biscuit dough and arrange the biscuits evenly on top of the chili mixture.
Optional: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the biscuits and chili for an extra layer of flavor.
Place the skillet or casserole dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
Carefully remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!
