Hamburger Biscuits
Juicy ground beef nestled in flaky biscuits with tangy barbecue sauce, perfect for quick family dinners or casual gatherings with bold flavors and comforting textures.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef in a skillet.
- Season the beef with salt and pepper to taste.
- Mold the canned biscuits in a greased muffin tin, placing one biscuit in each cup.
- Mix barbecue sauce with the cooked ground beef.
- Spoon the barbecue beef mixture into the biscuits in the muffin tin.
- Bake according to biscuit package directions until biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider adding diced onions or bell peppers to the ground beef while browning. You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for leaner options. If you prefer a spicier kick, try mixing in some hot sauce or chili powder with the barbecue sauce. Ensure the biscuits are well-molded in the muffin tin for an even bake.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Hamburger Biscuits warm, garnished with chopped green onions or parsley for color. They pair beautifully with a side salad or coleslaw for a refreshing contrast. For an extra treat, serve with a side of extra barbecue sauce for dipping. These biscuits are perfect for casual gatherings or game day snacks.

Store any leftover Hamburger Biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until heated through. You can also microwave them, but be cautious not to overcook to maintain the biscuit's texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen biscuits instead of canned?
Yes, you can use frozen biscuits; just ensure to follow the package instructions for baking. Thaw them slightly before molding them into the muffin tin to make shaping easier. This allows you to enjoy the same delicious outcome with a different biscuit type.
What can I use instead of barbecue sauce?
If you don't have barbecue sauce, you can use ketchup mixed with Worcestershire sauce for a similar flavor. Alternatively, a homemade sauce with soy sauce, honey, and vinegar can work well. Experiment with your favorite sauces to find your perfect flavor profile.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the beef and biscuit assembly in advance and store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to bake. Just remember to adjust the baking time if baking straight from the fridge, as they may need a few extra minutes to cook through.
