Instructions
 

Prepare the Biscuits:

    - Begin by preheating your oven to 450°F (230°C).

      - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well blended.

        - Work the cold, cubed butter into the dry mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, continuing until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

          - Gently fold in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.

            - Gradually pour in the buttermilk, stirring gently just until the dough comes together without overmixing.

              - Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently for about 30 seconds. Flatten it into a rectangle roughly 1 inch thick.

                - Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out biscuits and arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

                  - Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

                    Prepare the Chili:

                      - In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes or until it becomes translucent.

                        - Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute, stirring constantly to avoid burning.

                          - Incorporate the ground beef (or turkey) into the skillet, cooking until browned. Break it apart with a spoon as it cooks.

                            - After browning, drain any excess grease from the skillet. Then, stir in the chili powder, cumin, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and kidney beans. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.

                              - Reduce the heat and allow the chili to simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.

                                Assemble the Sliders:

                                  - Once the biscuits are baked and slightly cooled, slice each biscuit in half horizontally.

                                    - Spoon a generous portion of the chili onto the bottom half of each biscuit. If desired, add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of the chili for extra richness.

                                      - Gently place the top half of the biscuit over the chili to create the slider.

                                        - For garnish, sprinkle fresh chopped cilantro on top and add sliced jalapeños if you like a bit more heat.

                                          Serve:

                                            - Arrange the assembled sliders on a serving platter. Enjoy them warm as a delightful treat for game day, festive gatherings, or a cozy family dinner!
