Serves: 8 cups
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it into small crumbles. Cook until no pink remains and the meat is fully cooked, approximately 8-10 minutes.
- Drain excess fat from the skillet and return beef to the pan. Pour in BBQ sauce and stir to coat the meat evenly. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- Open the refrigerated biscuit dough and separate each biscuit. Using your fingers, press and stretch each biscuit to create a larger, thinner circle.
- Carefully press each stretched biscuit dough into the muffin tin cups, ensuring the dough comes up the sides to form a cup shape.
- Spoon the BBQ beef mixture into each biscuit cup, filling them about 3/4 full.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously over the top of each filled cup.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuit edges are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Remove from oven and let cool in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing the cups.
- Serve warm and enjoy your BBQ Beef Biscuit Cups as a delicious appetizer or main dish.
Tips
- Customize Your Filling: Feel free to add your favorite ingredients to the BBQ beef mixture, such as diced onions, bell peppers, or even jalapeños for a spicy kick!
- Don’t Skip the Grease: Make sure to lightly grease your muffin tin to prevent the biscuit cups from sticking. This will ensure they come out perfectly shaped and intact.
- Monitor the Baking Time: Ovens can vary, so keep an eye on your cups as they bake. You want the biscuit edges to be golden brown and the cheese melted for the best texture and flavor.
- Serve with Dipping Sauces: Enhance the flavor by serving your BBQ Beef Biscuit Cups with extra BBQ sauce, ranch dressing, or even a spicy aioli for dipping.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the BBQ beef mixture ahead of time and store it in the fridge. Just assemble and bake when you're ready to serve!
