Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Make the Biscuit Dough:

      - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder.

        - Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

          - Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.

            - Pour in the buttermilk and gently mix until just combined. Avoid overworking the dough.

              Form the Biscuits:

                - Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together.

                  - Pat the dough into a rectangle about ½ inch thick.

                    - Cut out small biscuit rounds (about 2 inches in diameter) using a biscuit cutter or a glass. Gather and re-roll scraps as necessary.

                      Prepare the Chili Filling:

                        - In a medium bowl, combine the cooked chili, ground cumin, smoked paprika, sautéed onions, and bell peppers. Adjust seasoning and add hot sauce if desired.

                          Assemble the Sliders:

                            - Place half of the biscuit rounds on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon a generous amount of the chili mixture onto each round.

                              - Top each filled round with another biscuit round to create a slider.

                                Bake the Sliders:

                                  - Brush the tops of the sliders with melted butter or buttermilk for a golden finish.

                                    - Sprinkle extra shredded cheddar cheese on top.

                                      - Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

                                        Serve:

                                          - Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.

                                            - Serve warm, topped with sliced jalapeños, cilantro, and a dollop of sour cream.
