Ingredients for Bbq Muffins

  • Refrigerated Buttermilk Biscuit
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • Cider Vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Cheddar Cheese

How to Make Bbq Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. Separate the refrigerated biscuits and gently flatten each one into a 5-inch circle.
  3. Press each biscuit circle into the bottom and up the sides of a greased muffin cup. Set aside.
  4. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and chili powder until smooth.
  6. Add the BBQ sauce mixture to the cooked ground beef and stir to combine thoroughly.
  7. Divide the meat mixture evenly among the prepared biscuit-lined muffin cups, using about 1/4 cup per muffin.
  8. Sprinkle each muffin generously with shredded cheddar cheese.
  9. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the meat is cooked through.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them and serving. Enjoy!

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.
