Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 0.75 cup Barbecue sauce
- 1 pack Refrigerated biscuit dough (homestyle or flaky)
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 stalks Green onions (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 can Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly spray a standard 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray and set it aside.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Season the ground beef with salt and black pepper, then drain any excess fat from the skillet.
Lower the heat to low and stir in the barbecue sauce. Mix thoroughly until the beef is evenly coated. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
Open the biscuit dough pack and separate it into individual biscuits. Flatten each biscuit disk slightly with your hands or a rolling pin to make it large enough to line the muffin cups.
Press each flattened biscuit into a muffin cup, ensuring the dough covers the bottom and sides to form a cup shape.
Spoon the barbecue beef mixture evenly into the biscuit cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the meat mixture in each cup.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuit dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the Barbe Cups cool for 5 minutes before carefully removing them with a small spatula or knife.
If desired, chop green onions finely and sprinkle them over the Barbe Cups for garnish before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your savory Barbe Cups!
