Recipe Tips

  • You can use ground chicken or ground turkey instead of ground beef.
  • You can use anything from 80% lean ground beef to 93% lean. If using an 80%, be sure to drain off some of the grease after you brown it.
  • Use your favorite BBQ Sauce for this recipe. If you use a sweet bbq sauce, omit the brown sugar. You won’t need it. If you use a vinegary and tangy bbq sauce, go ahead and add the brown sugar.
  • Get the GRANDS biscuits (you will need 5) and peel each biscuit into 2 biscuits. If using regular-sized biscuits, do not peel them into 2 and use 10 biscuits.
  • Can be frozen but withhold the cheese. Bake them, let them cool completely and freeze them in a freezer bag. Bake the frozen biscuits at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes, then add cheese and bake until cheese is fully melted.

Ingredients

Equipment Large Nonstick Skillet, 12-cup Muffin Tin

Steps

  1. 1

    Brown ground beef in a nonstick skillet, crumbling it as it cooks. Drain off any grease.

  2. 2

    Stir in the bbq sauce, minced onion, brown sugar if using, mustard, and jalapenos. Simmer for 1 minute and remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray 10 cups of a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.

  4. 4

    Separate each biscuit into 2 pieces by pulling apart the layers. Stretch each piece and mold it into the bottom and up the sides of the muffin cups.

  5. 5

    Divide the ground beef mixture between the biscuit-lined cups.

  6. 6

    Top each one with cheese.

  7. 7

    Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges of the biscuits are golden. Let sit for 1 minute and then run a knife around the edge of each one to loosen and remove them from the pan.

Notes

If you are using a sweet bbq sauce, you will not need to add the brown sugar.

Can be frozen but withhold the cheese. Bake them, let them cool completely and freeze them in a freezer bag. Bake the frozen biscuits at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes, then add cheese and bake until cheese is fully melted.
