How to Make Barbe Cups

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.
  3. Separate refrigerated biscuit dough into 10 rounds. (You can use store-bought refrigerated biscuits.)
  4. Press each biscuit round firmly into the bottom and up the sides of 10 muffin cups, forming a 1/4-inch rim.
  5. In a large skillet, brown 1 pound of ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  6. Stir in 1 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce, 1/2 cup chopped onion, and 2 tablespoons of brown sugar.
  7. Simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend.
  8. Evenly spoon the BBQ beef mixture into the prepared biscuit cups.
  9. Top each cup with 1 tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese).
  10. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the biscuit cups are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  11. Let cool for 1 minute before carefully removing from the muffin tin and serving.
