How to Make Barbecue Muffins

  1. Brown 1 lb ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup yellow mustard, 2 tablespoons white vinegar, 1/2 cup ketchup, and 1 tablespoon chili powder to the skillet. Stir to combine.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer the beef mixture for 10-15 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
  4. While the beef simmers, prepare your biscuits according to package directions. Once cooked, gently flatten each biscuit into a 1/4-inch thick disk.
  5. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin. Place one flattened biscuit into each muffin cup.
  6. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the beef mixture into the center of each biscuit.
  7. Top each muffin with 1 tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese.
  8. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 18-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
