My Southwestern-inspired potpie—full of sweet and spicy pork, corn, beans and chilies—is a sure-fire winner for any gathering. The cornmeal gives the biscuits a little extra crunch.—Andrea Bolden, Unionville, TN

  • Yield: 12 Servings
95 15 110

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1-1/2 pounds boneless pork loin roast, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 can (15-1/4 ounces) whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 can (15 ounces) pinto beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies
  • BISCUITS:
  • 3 cups biscuit/baking mix
  • 3/4 cup cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4-1/2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 cup 2% milk

Directions

  • Place flour in a large resealable plastic bag. Add pork, a few pieces at a time, and shake to coat. In a Dutch oven, brown pork in butter in batches. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same pan, saute jalapeno and garlic in the drippings for 1 minute. Stir in the broth, tomatoes, cumin, chili powder, cinnamon and pork. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1 hour or until pork is tender.
  • Add the corn, beans and chilies; heat through. Transfer to a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish.
  • In a large bowl, combine the biscuit mix, cornmeal, cheese and sugar; stir in milk just until moistened. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead 8-10 times.
  • Pat or roll out to 1/2-in. thickness; cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter. Arrange over meat mixture. Bake at 400° for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Yield: 12 servings.

Editor's Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.

Sooo delicious! I only put some of the buscuits on the top and just baked the rest on a cookie sheet. Definitely making this one again!!

Very good flavor. I would make less of the biscuits, as they soaked up so much of the juices. I made a half recipe of the biscuits which still made 8 generous biscuits and that seemed to work with the amount of meat and vegetables.
