Not only is this my favorite time of year but it’s also my busiest. Between work, wrapping presents, baking cookies and everything else that’s going on, my days are filled. We are heading over to my sister’s house for Christmas Eve and due to schedules, it’s more of an all day long open house party. I volunteered to cover the lunch portion and decided to make one of my favorite recipes but with a little twist. Instead of just bringing over a giant pot of my delicious chili, I told her I’d make these Spicy & Sweet Chili Biscuits instead. They’re easy to re-heat and even easier to make so I knew they’d be the perfect choice for her open house.

Each biscuit surrounds the delicious sweet and spicy chili perfectly. I’ve made them three times in the past ten days because everyone in my family wants more and no one wants to wait until Christmas Eve.

I can’t blame them. I was pretty sad when I heated up the last one for my son’s lunch last week. To hold me over for a few more days until I can enjoy each mouthwatering bite again, I’m sharing the recipe with you!

The secret to this mouthwatering recipe is adding a little brown sugar. That’s right I add brown sugar to the sauce to give it just a hint of sweetness. The chilies in the Ro*tel give it a nice kick while the brown sugar sweetens it perfectly.

Spicy & Sweet Chili Biscuits

Ingredients:

• 1 Can Refridgerated Biscuit Dough

Step 6: Add in one heaping spoonful of chili into the center of each biscuit.

Step 7: Bake for 10 – 15 minutes or until biscuits are done.

They’re that good. I picked up everything I needed for this recipe at Walmart from the Ro*tel right down to the onions and garlic. Gotta love one stop shopping during this busy time of year!
