Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cans of biscuits
- 1 can of chili
- 1 cup of shredded cheese
- 1/2 cup of diced onions
- 1/4 cup of sliced jalapeños
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Open the cans of biscuits and separate each biscuit. Cut each biscuit into quarters to create bite-sized pieces.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chili, diced onions, and sliced jalapeños. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
- Spread half of the biscuit pieces evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating a base layer.
- Pour the chili mixture over the biscuit layer, spreading it out to cover the entire surface.
- Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over the chili layer.
- Top with the remaining biscuit pieces, creating a second layer that covers the chili and cheese.
- Finish by sprinkling the remaining shredded cheese over the top of the biscuit layer.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let the dish cool for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the layers to set.
- Serve hot, optionally garnishing with additional chopped jalapeños or a dollop of sour cream if desired.
Tips
- For extra flavor, consider using homemade chili or a premium canned chili with bold seasonings.
- To prevent soggy biscuits, make sure to cut them into even quarters and don't overmix the layers.
- For a spicier version, use hot jalapeños or add a dash of cayenne pepper to the chili mixture.
- Let the dish rest for 5-10 minutes after baking to allow the layers to set and make serving easier.
- For a crispy top, broil the bake for 1-2 minutes at the end of cooking, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Customize your bake by adding cooked ground beef, bacon bits, or additional vegetables to the chili layer.
- Serve with optional toppings like sour cream, chopped green onions, or extra hot sauce for personalization.
