- 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.

<p>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! <br /><img src=http://images.quizilla.com/H/h0t5auce/1108834307_brown_answer.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/532663/cookswithcattitude.JPG alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r271/copperhorse58/CalendarGirlsSwap2009.jpg alt= /> <br /><br />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!</p>
