Category: < 30 Mins
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 to 2 tablespoons brown sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 1 can refrigerated biscuits (5 Texas-sized or 6 regular)
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven:
Start by setting your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure it’s hot and ready for baking your BBQ Cups. -
Cook the Ground Beef:
In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Be sure to drain off any excess fat to keep the cups from becoming greasy. -
Mix Ingredients:
In a bowl, combine the cooked beef with the barbecue sauce, chopped onion, and brown sugar. Stir well until all the ingredients are evenly mixed. This mixture will be the savory filling for your BBQ Cups. -
Prepare the Biscuit Cups:
Take a muffin pan and press the refrigerated biscuit dough into the cups, shaping them to fit the muffin holes. This will create little cups that will hold the beef mixture. If you’re using Texas-sized biscuits, you’ll have 5 cups; for regular-sized biscuits, you’ll have 6. -
Fill the Biscuit Cups:
Spoon the beef mixture into each biscuit cup, filling them generously. -
Add Cheese:
Top each filled cup with shredded cheese. The cheese will melt and create a delicious, gooey topping as the BBQ Cups bake. -
Bake:
Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the biscuit edges are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted. -
Cool and Serve:
Let the BBQ Cups cool in the pan for a few minutes before removing them. This will make it easier to get them out without falling apart. Serve warm and enjoy!
