These turned out much differently than I thought they would. I thought they would be little cups of seasoned cheese with a biscuit crust. But my biscuits puffed way, way up, turning them into biscuits with a cheese and chili topping. They were very good. I cut back on the chilies to please my family, and I'm sorry I did; the chilies add a lot of flavor. But even with no chilies at all, these are very good. This would be a delicious, easy party appetizer. I might add a dash of cumin next time. The cornmeal helps prevent the biscuits from sticking, but also adds a very subtle Southwestern flavor. Thanks for posting!
