Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425ðF (220ðC).
  2. For the shortcakes: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Cut cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
  4. Stir in grated sharp cheddar cheese, minced pickled jalapeños, and sour cream until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Turn dough onto a floured surface and gently pat into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle. Cut into rounds or squares.
  6. Place shortcakes on a baking sheet and bake for 15âÂÂ18 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Set aside.
  7. For the chili: Heat vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  8. Add chopped onions and carrots; cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  9. Add ground beef chuck, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned, draining excess fat if necessary.
  10. Stir in chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  11. Add tomato sauce, beef broth, and cider vinegar. Stir well to combine.
  12. Stir in rinsed kidney beans and chopped green bell peppers. Bring to a boil.
  13. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until flavors meld and chili thickens.
  14. Serve the hot chili in bowls topped with warm cheddar shortcakes.
