Beef And Bean Casserole With Cheese Biscuits


1. In a Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat and saute the onion, red pepper and kielbasa until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

2. Add the beef, chili powder, salt and pepper and cook, breaking up the meat with the back of a spoon and stirring often, until the meat is no longer pink, about 6 minutes.

3. Stir in the tomato puree, 1/4 cup water, molasses, brown sugar, mustard and vinegar.

4. Stir in the beans and bring to a boil.

5. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 15 minutes.

6. Pour into a 13" x 9" baking dish and place on a rimmed baking sheet.

7. To make the biscuits, whisk together in a bowl the flour, baking powder, salt and cayenne pepper.

8. Using a pastry blender, cut in the butter until crumbly.

9. Drizzle in the buttermilk, stirring just until a soft sticky dough forms.

10. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead 6 times or just until smooth.

11. Roll out into a 10" x 8" rectangle and brush with 1 tablespoon more buttermilk.

12. Cut into 12 biscuits.

13. Arrange over the casserole and sprinkle with the cheese.

14. Bake in a 375 degree F oven until bubbly and the biscuits are golden brown and no longer doughy on the bottom, about 35 minutes.
