Ingredients

For the Chili:
  • 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey)

  • 1 small onion (diced)

  • 1 bell pepper (diced)

  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)

  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans (drained and rinsed)

  • 1 (15 oz) can kidney beans (drained and rinsed)

  • 1 (15 oz) can diced tomatoes (with juice)

  • 1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce

  • 1 tbsp chili powder

  • 1 tsp cumin

  • 1/2 tsp paprika

  • 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (for topping)

For the Biscuits:

 

  • 1 (16 oz) can refrigerated biscuit dough (or homemade biscuit dough)

  • 2 tbsp butter (melted, for brushing)


Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

  • Make the chili: In a large skillet, cook ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess grease.

  • Add onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

  • Stir in black beans, kidney beans, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and all spices. Simmer for 10 minutes.

  • Assemble the casserole: Pour the chili into the prepared baking dish.

  • Prepare the biscuits: Cut each biscuit into quarters and evenly arrange them on top of the chili.

  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

  • Add cheese & finish: Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the biscuits and bake for an additional 5 minutes until melted.

 

  • Brush with butter and serve warm!


Notes

  • Use ground turkey or plant-based crumbles for a lighter version.

  • Want it spicier? Add diced jalapeños or extra chili powder.

 

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
