Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 0.5 cup Barbecue sauce
- 1 can (8-count) Refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
- 1 as needed Optional garnish: chopped parsley or green onions
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease the cups of a standard muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into small crumbles with a spatula. Drain any excess grease.
Stir the barbecue sauce into the cooked ground beef, mixing until evenly coated. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit slightly with your hands or a rolling pin.
Press each flattened biscuit into the greased muffin tin cups, shaping them to form a small 'cup' that lines the inside of each muffin mold.
Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the barbecue beef mixture into each biscuit cup, filling it evenly.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of the beef mixture in each cup.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuit edges are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the barbecue cups cool for 5 minutes in the pan. Use a butter knife to gently loosen and lift each cup out of the tin.
Optionally, garnish with chopped parsley or green onions before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
