Big Ray's Mexican Monkey Bread Recipe

5 star recipe, though I have to admit, I had saved this recipe from junior high's home economics class (many, many, many moons ago). Easy variations are to add pepper jack cheese, sausage, bacon or ham for breakfast. Turn it in to a pizza bread by adding smoke mozzarella, pepperoni or salami. Or a veggie bread by adding a variety of vegetables. This bread is so versatile and forgiving you can add anything and it turns out well! Thanks for the memories bfr610!

So this is just a plateful of sinful goodness. It hits all my pleasure points for decadent snacking. Soft chewy bread! Gooy melty cheese! Bright spicy peppers! What's not to love.... except the uncooked doughy bits in the middle when you make monkey bread without using a bundt pan. I did find if you cut the biscuits into 8 pieces instead of 4 that does help and I baked the first layer of biscuits for about 10 minutes before adding the cheese and remaining layers.

AWESOME! Absolutely delicious! I did need an extra Tbs. of butter for dipping. After laying out the first layer, I realized there was no way I was going to get 3 layers, so I just made 2 which meant, since all my ingredients were measured out for 3, each of the 2 layers ended up with extra toppings because I wasn't about to wrap and put anything back in the fridge. Mine took 40 minutes to bake and it came out tasty and beautiful. The only thing I did differently was to chop up my jalapeno slices a bit to provide better distribution. Wished I'd had a beer to drink with it because this stuff was hot...but soooo good.

Made this two ways now, first time I left off the jalapenos, so all family members would eat. I was a little heavy handed with the cheese, and after I put it all in the bundt cake, I put the remaining butter over the top. Second time I used pickled jalapenos, and both times were delicious. Everyone loves this recipe, will be a standard in our house, as it's simple and quick.

Sooooo good ! I used a deep dish pie pan which worked perfectly (center the dough pieces, there will be a inch or so space from the edge of the pan but it spreads out when baking). I also drizzled about 1/4 stick of melted butter over the top dough, than the cheese, bake time was 30 mins. I used canned jalapeños & the bread wasn’t hot / spicy at all. This is such a good & easy recipe to make I’m definitely going to keep it in my recipe file & will be sharing it.

I took this to a party and everyone loved it and said I needed to bring 2 next time. I used pepper jack cheese and sun dried tomatoes instead of the jalapenos, as I don't like jalapenos. It had a nice kick without being too hot.

I am so pleased with this recipe! Easy and delicious! I had two layers of bread and topped both with jalepino and cheese. Everyone really enjoyed it with our 3 bean chili.

Perfect sharing for a Christmas party. I chopped sausage and cooked with onions, once cooled added to my layers. Big hit!

Love it. The second, third, fourth and fifth time I made this... I added a lot more pickled jalapeño . Three times as much. Everyone loved it.

I made as written but I thought this was too dry. Maybe more cheese? Update, I made this again with more cheese, more butter, more jalapeño and it was very good. Be prepared to double or Tripple the cheese.

This was really good. I made some modifications to suit what I had - made my own biscuits, used cheddar and cotija cheeses, and cilantro instead of parsley. Will make again for sure!

I found this recipe and thought to myself; "I need to make this tonight!" But I think I will add crumbled bacon pieces in there too!

Made it for the family and everyone asked for seconds.

I really liked the jalepeno peppers in this. I did find the bread a touch too dry and it needed to be sliced instead of pull apart. Flavor is great. Maybe a bit more butter and/or cheese? I will tweak it going forward because it's tasty.

This tasted like all the things it is supposed to taste like, so it was good in general. But it didn’t pull apart very easily, which is obviously a hallmark of monkey bread. Okay tasting, but wouldn’t make again.

Really easy and very good! Thanks 😊

BIG HIT!!! LOVED!!!!! Made this monkey bread, and took it to a neighborhood social distancing get together. It was gone within minutes! So simple and easy to make! FIVE STARS!!!!

I made it exactly as shown. It was delicious!

Great use of jalapenos. I think next time I'll add garlic or garlic salt.

I think the Mexican Monkey is super okay but not too oily at all, and I have not tried one of different kinds of monkey breads yet. 3 stars for sure.
