Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 pounds ground beef
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 medium onion, chopped
1 small red bell pepper, chopped
1 small yellow bell pepper, chopped
2 tablespoons chili powder
4 cloves garlic, chopped
One 15.5-ounce can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
One 15.5-ounce can chili beans, undrained
1 1/2 cups frozen corn
1 cup beef broth
Half of a 30-ounce bag frozen French fries
2 cups shredded Cheddar
Sliced scallions and sour cream, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the ground beef, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper and cook, crumbling it with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 6 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and add the onion and bell peppers. Cook until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with the chili powder and garlic and stir to incorporate. Add the tomatoes, beans with their liquid, corn and broth. Increase the heat to bring to a rapid simmer and cook until thickened, about 3 minutes.
  • Pour the mixture into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Top with the fries. Bake until the fries are browned and crisp, 30 to 35 minutes. Sprinkle with the Cheddar and bake until the cheese is bubbly, 5 to 7 minutes more. Serve topped with scallions and sour cream.

Time 1h40m

Yield 14 biscuit

Number Of Ingredients 26

½ lb ground beef, 80/20
½ cup yellow onion, diced
½ cup green bell pepper, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ cups crushed tomatoes, canned
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon cayenne
1 can kidney bean, drained
2 ½ cups self-rising flour
1 cup cornmeal
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 sticks unsalted butter, cubed and chilled
1 cup buttermilk
¼ cup all purpose flour, for dusting
¼ cup unsalted butter
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon cayenne
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
3 scallions, sliced
½ cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Make the chili: In a large pot over medium heat, combine the ground beef, onion, bell pepper, garlic, and crushed tomatoes. Bring to a simmer. Add the salt, chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne, and kidney beans. Stir to combine, then simmer for 40-45 minutes, until the chili has thickened. Remove the pot from the heat and let the chili cool completely.
  • Make the biscuits: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour, cornmeal, and salt.
  • Add the butter and press into the dry ingredients with your fingertips until the flour resembles coarse sand.
  • Add the buttermilk and stir until the dough comes together in a ball.
  • Dust a clean surface with the all-purpose flour. Turn the dough out and fold in half, then the dough into a circle and roll out with a rolling pin to about ¼ inch (6 mm) thick.
  • Using a 4-inch (10 cm) round cutter, portion the dough into 12 rounds. Re-roll dough and cut more circles as needed.
  • Scoop 1 tablespoon of the cooled chili into the center of a round of dough and carefully pinch the edges together around the chili to seal. Repeat with the remaining dough. Place the filled biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down. Save the remaining chili for another use.
  • Make the chili butter: In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter, salt, chili powder, cumin, paprika, and cayenne. Microwave in 30-second intervals until the butter is completely melted.
  • Brush the tops of the biscuits generously with the chili butter. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese on top.
  • Bake the biscuits for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Garnish the biscuits with the scallions and serve with sour cream alongside.
  • Enjoy!

Time 3h55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 21

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 ounces sweet Italian turkey sausage, casings removed
¼ cup all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons chopped green onions
1 ½ cups cold milk
salt to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
½ cup diced celery
1 cup diced onion
salt to taste
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
freshly ground black pepper to taste
5 cups chicken broth
12 cups dry bread cubes
1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 tablespoon minced fresh sage
2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme
3 large eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Melt butter for country gravy in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add sausage; cook and crumble into very small pieces until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add flour and whisk until it combines with butter and sausage fat to create a roux. Cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add green onions. Cook and stir for 1 minute; don't overcook.
  • Pour in milk and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Continue to cook and stir until nice and thick. Stir in salt, cayenne, and black pepper. Cook for 1 more minute, then remove from the heat.
  • Transfer gravy into a bowl and let cool to room temperature, 15 to 20 minutes. Wrap and refrigerate until cold and thick, about 2 hours, or until needed.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Butter a 12-cup muffin tin with a 1 tablespoon butter.
  • Melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add celery, onion, and salt; cook and stir until onion just starts to turn translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Add poultry seasoning and pepper; cook and stir for 1 minute. Add chicken broth and bring to a boil.
  • Meanwhile, combine bread cubes, parsley, sage, and thyme in a large bowl.
  • Pour boiling broth mixture over bread-herb mixture and stir until combined. Mix in eggs. Fill the prepared muffin cups to the top with stuffing mixture, then go around and evenly divide remaining stuffing on top of each muffing, piling it up nice and high.
  • Wet your finger and make a big hole in the center of each muffin, poking down pretty far but stopping about 1 inch from the bottom of the pan. Place about 2 tablespoons chilled gravy into each hole, centering it in the hole the best you can. Reserve remaining gravy for another use.
  • Dampen your hands and mold the stuffing for each muffin over the top to cover the gravy center. Generously brush the tops with melted butter.
  • Place in the center of the preheated oven with a baking pan on a lower rack to catch any drippings. Bake until muffins have firmed up and are golden brown, about 20 minutes.
  • Let cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes, then carefully remove and serve.
