A DELICIOUSLY EASY 30 MINUTE MEAL
I've got a really fun and easy recipe for ya today. I just love recipes like these BBQ Beef Biscuit Cups because they are easy to play around with but are perfect for busy evenings. It's a kid-friendly meal too! Plus, this recipe can definitely be tailored to your family's tastebuds.
TIPS FOR MAKING THIS EASY DINNER RECIPE:
- If you don't have (or want) to use ground beef in this, you can use ground turkey or ground chicken.
- Shredded chicken would also be wonderful.
- Or, if you don't like the idea of BBQ sauce, why not make these into Sloppy Joe or Taco Cups. Instead of BBQ Sauce, try using a can of sloppy joe or a packet of taco seasoning (just follow directions on the back of the packet.)
- Make sure you are purchasing the regular-sized biscuits. There should be 10 biscuits per tube. Don't use the larger Grands biscuits with these unless you are planning on cutting them in half before using.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)
- ground beef
- barbecue sauce
- dry minced onion
- refrigerated biscuits
- shredded cheddar cheese
HOW TO MAKE BBQ BEEF BISCUIT CUPS:
Preheat oven to 400F degrees. Spray muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. In a large pan, brown and crumble ground beef. Turn off heat. Drain excess grease. Put beef back in pan and add in BBQ sauce and dried minced onion. Stir well.
Separate biscuits and place into greased muffin tins. Press dough up and along sides of muffin tins.
Divide meat mixture between muffins (you may have just a small amount leftover.)
Sprinkle each one with shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until biscuits are golden brown and cheese is melted. Serve with a fresh garden salad or fries.

These are so easy to make. They taste absolutely awesome. It's a meal in its self with a salad. Or just a great TV snack.

These sound excellent but I never buy the tube biscuits as I prefer making my own. Have you or any other subscribers to your blog ever made these with homemade dough? I am just not sure how much an individual biscuit from the tube weighs or what thickness they are; would love to hear if anyone has tried using their own dough & if they have any suggestions/tips.

This recipe was one I had gotten from the grocery store. It was a tear away from the refrigerator section. This recipe was from the Bake Off contest in 1968. My family has been making these since then. As attested to, they are open to variety and only your imagination limits how they are made. Good reminder of a recipe that has stood the test of time!

In looking at the nutrition value, is an individual biscuit considered 1 serving?

Making tonight! YUM!

You can shift gears for variety and I use creamed chicken in a thick version and can add a veggie such as peas, chopped broccoli, or mixed vegetables. Same directions.for assembly and baking.
