Hearty, savory muffins packed with tangy barbecue beef and melty cheddar—perfect for brunch, game day, or a quick family dinner.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Separate the biscuit dough and flatten each piece into a circle.
- Press each circle into the bottom of a greased muffin cup.
- Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat.
- In a small bowl, whisk together ketchup, brown sugar, cider vinegar, and chili powder until smooth.
- Add the mixture to the browned meat and stir until well combined.
- Divide the meat mixture evenly among the prepared biscuit cups.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top of each muffin.
- Bake at 375°F for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the biscuits are golden.
- Remove from oven and let cool before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider mixing in diced onions or bell peppers with the ground beef while browning. You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option. If you prefer a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce to the barbecue mixture. To save time, use pre-cooked ground beef or leftover meat from other dishes like Chunky Beef And Bean Stew.
Serving Suggestions
These muffins make a great casual dinner or party appetizer. Serve them alongside a fresh salad or coleslaw for a complete meal. They can also be paired with dips like ranch or barbecue sauce. For a comforting side, consider serving with French Bean And Potato Casserole to round out your meal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these muffins ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the meat mixture and fill the biscuit cups ahead of time. Cover and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, simply pop them in the oven and adjust the cooking time if they are chilled.
What can I use instead of buttermilk biscuits?
If you don't have buttermilk biscuits, you can use regular refrigerated biscuits or even crescent roll dough. For a homemade option, mix flour, baking powder, and buttermilk to create a quick dough, though the texture may differ slightly.
Can I freeze the muffins?
Yes, these muffins freeze well. After baking and cooling, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze. Once frozen, transfer them to an airtight container or freezer bag. They can be reheated directly from frozen in the oven or microwave.
