ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 onion, diced
1 sweet red pepper, diced
1 ¹⁄₂ cups kielbasa, diced (about 8 oz.)
1 lb lean ground beef
2 teaspoons chili powder
¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt
¹⁄₄ teaspoon ground black pepper
680 ml tomato puree (passata)
¹⁄₄ cup molasses
3 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1 tablespoon wine vinegar
57 ounces navy beans, drained and rinsed
Biscuits
2 ¹⁄₄ cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
³⁄₄ teaspoon salt
1 pinch cayenne pepper
¹⁄₂ cup butter, chilled and cut into cubes
1 cup buttermilk
1 ¹⁄₂ cups cheddar cheese, shredded

directions

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.
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.
Stir in the tomato puree, 1/4 cup water, molasses, brown sugar, mustard and vinegar.
Stir in the beans and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 15 minutes.
Pour into a 13" x 9" baking dish and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
To make the biscuits, whisk together in a bowl the flour, baking powder, salt and cayenne pepper.
Using a pastry blender, cut in the butter until crumbly.
Drizzle in the buttermilk, stirring just until a soft sticky dough forms.
Turn out onto a floured surface and knead 6 times or just until smooth.
Roll out into a 10" x 8" rectangle and brush with 1 tablespoon more buttermilk.
Cut into 12 biscuits.
Arrange over the casserole and sprinkle with the cheese.
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.

I live with my husband, four cats, and a sweet mutt named Jada in Scarborough, Ontario, where I work as an elementary school administrative assistant. I have a 31 year old daughter who lives with her boyfriend in nearby Don Mills, along with my sweet granddogs, Frankie and Turbo. I would have to say that my passion is animals, since I have so many of them! <img src=http://images.quizilla.com/H/h0t5auce/1108834307_brown_answer.jpg alt= /> <img src=http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/532663/cookswithcattitude.JPG alt= /> <img src=http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r271/copperhorse58/CalendarGirlsSwap2009.jpg alt= /> If I had a month off work to do what I please, I would first catch up on my sleep and then just have fun - see a few movies and maybe take a couple of short trips - something that wouldn't break the bank - lol!
