Beef Barbecups

Teresa Ambra
Fantastic tail-gate party recipe - Beef Barbecups use refrigerated biscuits filled with ground beef, Sweet Baby Ray's barbecue sauce, brown sugar and topped with cheddar cheese. They are fantastic for parties and potlucks but also great for a quick weekend dinner when you're short on time and don't want to plan a full meal.

Equipment

  • 1 large skillet
  • 1 hamburger chopper to cut meat down in small pieces while frying
  • 2 12-tin regular muffin pans
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • 1 wooden spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb. 93% to 96% lean ground beef or sirloin
  • 2 tbsp. light brown sugar packed
  • 3/4 cup sweet baby ray's barbecue sauce or your favorite BBQ sauce
  • 1/4 cup onion chopped
  • 1 cup sharp Cheddar cheese shredded
  • 2 cans 10-pack refrigerated biscuits

Instructions
 

  • Brown meat and onions in a large skillet, drain.
  • Use a hamburger chopper to cut meat down in small pieces while frying.
  • Add BBQ sauce and brown sugar to the meat, mix well.
  • Press biscuits into 20 greased or well-sprayed muffin cups.
  • Press dough in the bottom and around the edges of the cups.
  • Spoon meat mixture into cups and top with cheese.
  • Bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes.

Notes

NOTE: Spray muffin tins generously with cooking spray. This will prevent the muffins from sticking to the pans upon removal.
 
NOTE: The original Pillsbury recipe calls for using grands, but I found they took longer to cook through so the cheese would burn.
