How to Make Bbq Beef Cups

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or grease it with butter.
  3. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown 1 lb ground beef.
  4. Drain off any excess grease.
  5. Stir in 1 cup BBQ sauce and 1/2 cup chopped onion.
  6. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
  7. Separate 1 tube (8 count) of refrigerated biscuits. Gently flatten each biscuit with your hand or a rolling pin.
  8. Press each flattened biscuit into the cups of the muffin tin, ensuring the dough comes up to the top of each cup.
  9. Divide the beef mixture evenly among the biscuit cups.
  10. Bake for 12 minutes.
  11. Remove from oven and sprinkle each cup with 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  12. Bake for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  13. Let cool slightly before serving. Makes 6 servings.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
