Monkey bread has been a great party food for us at my house. But, so often the recipes tend to be really sweet. While we love a good sweet bread, this green chili monkey bread hits a whole different kind of craving. It’s cheesy, savory, and has just a little bit of spice thanks to some canned green chilis and red pepper flakes.

But, it’s not too spicy which is what I love about this recipe. It’s a great appetizer for everyone at the table and makes a really satisfying finger food for game day and for holidays, too.

This monkey bread is a snap to put together since it only takes a few ingredients to make and it’s a very hands off process. Thanks to a can of refrigerated biscuits it only takes a few minutes to combine all the ingredients.

There’s also a good amount of butter and some garlic in this bread, which means it comes out of the oven tender and full of flavor.

A mixture of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses means this bread is ooey-gooey and perfect for picking apart as a group. And, if you know your crowd loves some spice you can up the ante by adding more red pepper flakes or chilis, or even by adding a splash of Tabasco sauce.

It couldn’t be easier to make this crowd-pleasing green chili monkey bread. But, the empty plate speaks more for this recipe than words can!
