Ingredients

• 1  pound lean ground beef
• 1  medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
• 1  small green sweet pepper, coarsely chopped (1/2 cup)
• 1  15-ounce can chili with beans, do not drain
• 1  8-ounce can tomato sauce
• 1  6-ounce can tomato paste
• 1  tablespoon chili powder
• 1/2  teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2  teaspoon bottled hot pepper sauce
• 1  12-ounce package (10) refrigerated honey butter flaky biscuits
• 1  8-ounce carton sour cream
• 2  tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2  cups corn chips, coarsely crushed
• 1  cup shredded cheddar cheese (4 ounces)
•   Chopped green onions

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a large skillet, cook ground meat, the 1/2 cup onion, and sweet pepper over medium heat until meat is brown and onion is tender. Drain off fat. Stir in beans, tomato sauce, tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, and hot pepper sauce. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

2. Meanwhile, lightly grease a 9- or 10-inch deep-dish pie plate. For crust, unwrap and separate biscuits. Press biscuits onto the bottom and up the side of the prepared pie plate, extending biscuits about 1/2 inch above edge. Spoon meat mixture into crust. In a small bowl, combine sour cream and flour; spread over meat mixture. Sprinkle with chips and cheese.

3. Place pie plate on a baking sheet. Bake, uncovered, about 30 minutes or until mixture is heated through and crust is golden. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with green onions. Makes 8 servings.
