Spicy Monday Evening

Everyone has a receipe for enchilada casserole, but this one I created is a little different. It is a good dish to bring some excitment to an otherwise dull Monday evening. Had to have Cheese Jalapeno Biscuits to go with it. This is was what we enjoyed while "eatin in the kitchen" tonight. Just hope all this spice doesn't revisit about 1 o'clock in the morning!

Cheese Jalapeno Biscuits

2 cuos bread flour 1 tablespoon baking powder

2/3 cold butter 1 teaspoon salt

1 diced jalapeno buttermilk

a pinch of baking soda 1 teaspoon sugar

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

In a bowl add flour, diced jalapeno, cut in butter till it looks like cornmeal. Add baking powder, salt, sugar and a pinch of baking soda. Add cheese and make a well in the flour. Add enough of buttermilk until everythings clings together. Sorry I do it by eyeing it, but somewhere around a cup. As soon as everything sticks together, spoon the dough out onto a floured surface. Remember, touch the dough as little as possible. Cut and place the biscuits on a greased pan. Bake at 425 degrees for about 10-12 minutes.
