Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce your choice of sweet or tangy
  • 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar or a blend works best
  • 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • For garnish Fresh parsley, chopped

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
  3. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the beef mixture. Mix well.
  4. Add the BBQ sauce to the skillet with the beef, stirring to ensure it’s evenly coated. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  5. Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a small circle.
  6. Grease a muffin tin. Place each flattened biscuit into the cups of the tin, pressing down into the bottom and up the sides to form a cup.
  7. Spoon the BBQ beef mixture into each biscuit cup until they are filled, but not overflowing.
  8. Sprinkle shredded cheese generously on top of each filled biscuit cup.
  9. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
  10. Once baked, remove the BBQ Beef Biscuit Cups from the oven, let them cool slightly, then garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

You can prepare the beef mixture a day in advance, and assemble and bake the cups when you’re ready to serve. Try using ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option. Serve with extra BBQ sauce or ranch dressing on the side.
