Hamburger Biscuit Cups

Ingredients
Instructions
- Brown the hamburger meat and diced onion in a skillet; drain excess fat.
- Add barbecue sauce to the meat mixture and simmer until heated through.
- Separate the biscuit dough and press each into a greased muffin tin cup to form a cup shape.
- Fill each biscuit cup with the cooked meat mixture.
- Sprinkle grated cheese on top of each cup.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes until biscuits are golden and cheese is melted.
Tips & Substitutions
For a flavor twist, try adding diced bell peppers or jalapeños to the meat mixture. If you want a lighter option, substitute ground turkey or chicken for the hamburger meat. You can also use different types of cheese like pepper jack for a spicy kick. Additionally, ensure the biscuits are pressed firmly into the muffin tin to hold the filling well.
Serving Suggestions
These Hamburger Biscuit Cups are perfect as a fun appetizer or main dish. Serve them with a side of coleslaw or a fresh garden salad for a complete meal. They pair wonderfully with Macaroni And Cream Of Mushroom, adding a comforting touch to your dining experience. Consider offering extra barbecue sauce on the side for dipping.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Hamburger Biscuit Cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes or until warmed through. This will help maintain the biscuit's texture rather than using a microwave.
