These Green Chile Cheddar Biscuits are perfect with a bowl of your favorite soup or chili. They are light, fluffy and kicked up a notch with green chilies. Eating them by themselves is a good snack idea too!
If you live in my part of the woods, it is still winter (ugh) and that means give me comfort food! I want to feel warm so recipes that are a bit heartier is what my body is craving. Soups, stews and chili recipes are perfect for that - do you agree? I also like some sort of bread to either dunk or eat alongside those dishes and was really happy the way these biscuits turned out. You can see how fluffy they are and they have just the right amount of spice to them. I split one open seeing that melty cheese and then slathered on some butter. Oh boy, I was in heaven!
I was inspired to make these biscuits after attending a breakfast at work. They served a smaller size of a similar biscuit, cut in half, with a chunk of ham in the middle. After one bite, I knew it was something I definitely want to make. Since at the time I didn't have a great biscuit recipe, I went to pinterest and found this one that I seemed pretty close to what I was looking for. I tweaked it a bit and was pleased with the results.
As mentioned, these green chile cheddar biscuits would be a perfect addition to soups, stews and chili. One of our go-to chili recipes is from the DIY Guy - we call it Lucky 27 because it has 27 different ingredients in it! It's a little bit of work but it tastes fantastic and makes a great amount for a crowd. We also enjoy this Southwest Chicken Barley Soup during our cold Minnesota winters. I hope the groundhog in a couple days does NOT see his shadow - this gal is ready for an early spring!!

Can the dough be frozen and baked at a later time?
Deb Attinella says
Hi, I haven't tried that - I'm thinking no because they might not rise properly.
Ruth Hockensmith says
If I don't have buttermilk can I use whole milk?
Deb Attinella says
I haven't tried that but guessing you could
Kathy Dowling says
Whenever a recipe calls for buttermilk and I don't have any, I just put a teaspoon of white vinegar in a 1 cup measure, then fill with milk and let it sit for a few minutes. It may look a little curdled. Its always worked just fine for me.
Deb Attinella says
I like that tip!
