Recipe Rescue: Deep Fried Chili!

Okay, so maybe this is a weekend meal. Just the name shows you that its not really a low-cal dish, but once in a while you have to throw calorie counting to the wind and dive in to something devilish. We're taking chili leftovers and turning them upside down, let's get in the kitchen.

What You'll Need:

leftover chili*
1 cup cheddar cheese or more
1 small yellow onion
1 pkg biscuits
oil for frying

*for a quick easy chili
brown a pound of hamburger
with an onion and a tsp of
garlic, add a can of beef
broth, one large can diced
tomatoes, one large can tomato
sauce with a tsp of cumin, 2 tsp
chili powder, 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes,
a dash of oregano and one whole fresh
jalapeno-grated into meat mixture (without
or without the seeds)
if the chili isn't thick enough after
three hours of simmering at a tsp of
tomato paste simmer for another half
hour then remove from heat and let cool

Putting It All Together:

roll out each biscuit to about six inches
put an ice cream scoop of chili on one side
top with cheese and onion, fold biscuit over
and pinch the edges together with a fork, make
sure that it is completely sealed.
in a deep pot heat oil to about 350 degrees
and gently drop one biscuit in at a time, cook
until the biscuit is golden brown and set on
a plate lined with paper towel to absorb excess
oil.

serve with more cheese and sour cream
