Barbeque Cups |
This is a tasty, easy-to-make recipe that is perfect for parties, brunches, or family meals.
350 degrees for 15-20mins.
Ingredients Needed:

1 pound (or more) ground meat (ANY meat will work - use what you prefer)
A couple of tablespoons Ketchup

A teaspoon onion flakes (or onion powder)
2 tablespoons brown sugar (optional)
1/2 to 1 cup frozen or canned corn (or fresh corn kernels if you want to take the time)
Shredded cheese (I use cheddar but any meltable cheese should work).
Utensils needed:
Muffin tin(s)
frying pan
spatula or scraper
Stovetop & Oven
Directions:
- Place ground meat in frying pan and cook on medium heat
- When ground meat is cooked, add ketchup, onion flakes, and brown sugar and cook for 2-3 more minutes
- Add enough BBQ sauce to thoroughly cover/moisten the meat with sauce (but you don't want bbq soup!) and add the corn
- Cook at least another 4 minutes, mixing occasionally to keep it from sticking to the pan (add more BBQ sauce if the meat starts to dry out)
- Once cooked, remove pan from heat and let cool while you start the next steps
- Open can(s) of biscuits
- Place each biscuit into a muffin cup and press in to form a cup-shape
- Spoon meat mixture into each cup (trying to distribute the meat evenly between all the biscuit cups)
- Place in oven (you can follow the biscuit directions on the biscuit tin) and bake for 11 minutes at 350 degrees.
- At the 11 minute mark, pull the muffin tins out. Each BBQ Cup should be a light gold-color on the outside at this point - if they are still raw-looking, return to the oven and keep cooking until they are a light golden brown
- IF the BBQ Cups are a light golden brown, sprinkle shredded cheese on top of each BBQ Cup. and return to oven to finish cooking.
- Cook another 4 minutes (or more) until the cheese is melted and starting to bubble.
- Remove the muffin tins from the oven and let cool


As a side note, I think you could fill these with a variety of other ingredients (such as refried beans, rice, meat, and salsa - for a Mexican-based flavor, or perhaps sweet & sour sauce and chicken for a asian-based flavor). Also, I think you could cut the biscuits in half (or maybe quarters) and use them in mini-muffin tins.. for an appetizer-sized option. Hmmmm.... I may have to try a couple of these options myself!
Enjoy!
