BBQ Beef Biscuit Cups only have 5 ingredients: biscuits, beef, bbq sauce, cheese and seasoning. So easy and they only take 30 minutes to make!
EASY BBQ BEEF BISCUIT CUPS
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.

Bookmarked!!! These look awesome! 🙂
Ooo yummy! My mom used to make something like this when I was a kid and I had forgotten all about it! Thanks for another great recipe!
What a great easy week-night supper! And so fun! YUM! Thanks for sharing.
These look scrummy delish 🙂
I am wondering what refigerator biscuits are though??
I used "great value: texas style biscuits" from walmart. It was the only one I could find that matched the size and volume with 10 biscuits.
Yum. I like fun and easy! Thanks Brandie!
These look fun, simple, and of course tasty!
Ooooh, delicious little serving size treats! Looks like a great idea.
fabulous! I have to PIN!
YUM YUM YUM! I made these often when my kids were growing up, but hubs doesn't care for BBQ, but I may try this using ketchup soon anyway. =) I LOOOOVE BBQ! =) As always, I ppreciate your lovely tutorial. Have a great week Brandie. Keep these simple and delicious, and family-friendly meals coming!
I love the versatility of this recipe! They would be awesome made as sloppy joe cups!
What a blast from the past! I used to make these when my kids were young and I'd forgotten all about them. They'll be perfect for Thursday afternoon cooking with my 4 year old grandson. Thanks for jogging my memory with an old favorite!
Many Many KUDOS to using Sweet Baby Rays sauce. My boss IS Sweet Baby Ray! (no joke!)
Every time I see an American recipe for refrigerated biscuits I just groan. Can you believe they don't exist here? Nothing close even.
I do love this idea! They look terrific.
Thanks for a great lunch idea! We loved it and did a chicken Tex-Mex version. I posted mine at
http://stellabskitchen.blogspot.com/2012/04/barbecue-chicken-cups.html
Love this idea. It just boggles my mind how inventive people are. Of course I have all those ingredients but do you think I could have come up with that??? I need to start thinking out of the box.
This was perfect! Yesterday we had sloppy joes for supper and today (with the addition of bbq sauce) the leftovers morphed into bbq cups. Love, love, love this recipe.
Would it be wrong to have taco cups tomorrow lol? I'm drooling over the thought of them topped with crushed tortilla chips, sour cream and salsa.
I made this tonight, but I used a can of hormel chili instead of the BBQ ground beef, because my and my SO aren't fans of BBQ. It turned out wonderful!! This will definitely become a regular menu item in our house. Thanks for the awesome recipe!
I make something similar to this - use premade pizza dough and I fill with sliced up deli turkey meat, bbq sauce, sliced up spinach and cheese on top. They're delicious and a great kid treat!
These look yummy and can't wait to try but can you tell me you said you use regular size biscuits yet you have in the picture grands jr. Ar the grands jr and the regular size about the same? Thanks! I think my husband and I will love these!
Sorry for the confusion. Basically you don't want the pillsbury Grands biscuits. You would use the Jr. or if you are using another brand, you want to make sure they are your average size biscuits. Hope that helps clarify!
These are so tasty and simple. I already had the grands biscuits on hand, so I just cut them in half and made 12 cups. Even my two pickiest eaters gobbled them up!
So glad everyone enjoyed them!
Hi! I know this is an old post but just wNted to let you know I made this for dinner and it was a hit with the hubby and the kids!! Soooo tasty deff gunna make this again. I only had the larger biscuits but cutting them in half worked just fine 🙂
WOW! These look soooo good Brandie! Gotta try these! Thanks for sending them my way!!
I froze half of my recipe last time. Any suggestions on reheating to get them just right?
