A delightful twist on classic barbecue flavors, these savory cups are perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for the biscuits.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up as it cooks.
Use a wooden spoon to break up the beef for an even texture.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened.
Cooking the onion with the beef enhances the flavor.
Stir in the barbecue sauce, chili powder, garlic powder, and black pepper. Simmer for a few minutes to combine the flavors.
Simmering allows the sauce to thicken and coat the beef evenly.
Flatten each biscuit into a disk and press them into the cups of a greased muffin pan to form a crust.
Ensure the biscuits are evenly pressed to avoid uneven baking.
Spoon the beef mixture into each biscuit cup, filling them generously.
Don't overfill to prevent spilling during baking.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of each cup.
Use a generous amount of cheese for a gooey topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden and the cheese is melted.
Check halfway through to ensure even baking.
Let the cups cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your savory BBQ beef cups!
Serve with a side of coleslaw or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
