How to Make Barbeque Beef In Biscuit Baskets

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1.5 lbs ground beef and 1 medium onion (chopped) to the pot. Brown the beef, breaking it up with a spoon, until no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Stir in 1 ½ cups of your favorite barbecue sauce, 1 tablespoon dried basil, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Open a can (16.3 oz) of refrigerated biscuits. Separate the biscuits.
  7. Microwave biscuits on 50% power for 30-40 seconds to soften (adjust time as needed).
  8. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
  9. Gently flatten each biscuit and press it into each muffin cup, forming a basket shape.
  10. Bake the biscuit baskets for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  11. Once removed from the oven, immediately use the back of a spoon or ice cream scoop to gently press the biscuit baskets down into the muffin tin to flatten and create a deeper basket.
  12. Divide the barbecue beef evenly among the biscuit baskets.
  13. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese) over the beef.
  14. Bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
