Beef and Bean Casserole With Cheese Biscuits

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 onion, diced
• 1 sweet red pepper, diced
• 1 12 cups kielbasa, diced (about 8 oz.)
• 1 lb lean ground beef
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 12 teaspoon salt
• 14 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 680 ml tomato puree (passata)
• 14 cup molasses
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
• 1 tablespoon dry mustard
• 1 tablespoon wine vinegar
• 57 ounces navy beans, drained and rinsed
• 2 14 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 34 teaspoon salt
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper
• 12 cup butter, chilled and cut into cubes
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 12 cups cheddar cheese, shredded

1. In a Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat and saute the onion, red pepper and kielbasa until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the beef, chili powder, salt and pepper and cook, breaking up the meat with the back of a spoon and stirring often, until the meat is no longer pink, about 6 minutes.
3. Stir in the tomato puree, 1/4 cup water, molasses, brown sugar, mustard and vinegar.
4. Stir in the beans and bring to a boil.
5. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 15 minutes.
6. Pour into a 13" x 9" baking dish and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
7. To make the biscuits, whisk together in a bowl the flour, baking powder, salt and cayenne pepper.
8. Using a pastry blender, cut in the butter until crumbly.
9. Drizzle in the buttermilk, stirring just until a soft sticky dough forms.
10. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead 6 times or just until smooth.
11. Roll out into a 10" x 8" rectangle and brush with 1 tablespoon more buttermilk.
12. Cut into 12 biscuits.
13. Arrange over the casserole and sprinkle with the cheese.
14. Bake in a 375 degree F oven until bubbly and the biscuits are golden brown and no longer doughy on the bottom, about 35 minutes.
