  • Servings: 10-12
  • Prep Time: 20-25 minutes
  • Cook Time: 30-40 minutes
  • Total Time: 65 minutes

Ingredients:

⅓ cup Melted Unsalted Butter, divided use
1 cup Chopped Onion
⅓ cup Chopped Green Bell Pepper
⅓ cup Chopped Red Bell Pepper
½ tsp Dried Basil
½ tsp Seasoned Salt
3 Tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
1½ cups Shredded Medium Cheddar Cheese
1½ cups Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
1 (4 Oz.) Can Chopped Green Chilies, well drained
4 slices Bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
3 (7.5 Oz.- 10 Count) Cans Buttermilk Biscuits

Directions:

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place 1 tablespoon of butter in a medium skillet over medium high heat. Add onion and bell peppers. Cook for 4-6 minutes until onion begins to clear, stirring often. Remove from heat. Stir remaining butter, basil, seasoned salt, and Parmesan cheese together in a large bowl. Set aside. In a separate large bowl, stir cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses together. Stir in green chilies and bacon. Use hand to shape into 30 compact balls. Spread each biscuit to a 3-4 inch circle and place a cheese ball in center of each, enclosing biscuits around balls and sealing well. Place 1/3 of onion/pepper mixture evenly in bottom of a 10-inch bundt pan that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Dip 8 biscuits in butter mixture and arrange in pan. Add another 1/3 of onion/pepper mixture. Dip 10 biscuits in butter mixture and add to pan. Add remaining onion/pepper mixture then dip remaining 12 biscuits in butter mixture and add to pan. Drizzle with any remaining butter mixture. Bake for 25-35 minutes until biscuits are done and tops are golden brown, covering with foil during last 10 minutes of baking time if necessary to prevent overbrowning. Cool for 5 minutes then invert onto serving platter. Serves 10-12.

Helpful Tips:

Use Pepper-Jack cheese for more heat. Cinnamon Monkey Bread was always a favorite when my boys were growing up. This savory version has the delicious taste of the Southwest enhanced by three cheeses. It is perfect served for breakfast, brunch, or as a game-day appetizer.
