Today's Recipe: Popping Fresh Barbecue Cups

Today's Recipe is super easy and is a kid pleaser!  You can vary this recipe in many ways, like making a bigger bread bowl for adults instead of the muffin size cups.   Since you eat with your eyes first, the bigger bowl is more appealing to adults, trust me on this one, I've tested it.  Totally weird!  Anyway, Enjoy!

Popping Fresh Barbecue Cups

6 Servings

Ingredients
3/4 pound Ground Beef; Lean
1 tablespoon Onion; Minced
2 tablespoons Brown Sugar
12 Biscuits; *
1/2 cup Barbecue Sauce; **
3/4 cup Cheddar; Sharp, Shredded

Instructions
* Use 1 8-oz tube of store bought biscuits, or your favorite 12 biscuit ** Use store bought sauce or your favorite recipe.

In a skillet brown the ground beef and then drain off the excess fat. Add the bbq sauce, onion and brown sugar and set aside. Separate the biscuit dough into 12 pieces and place one in each of 12 ungreased muffin cups, pressing the dough up the sides to the edge of the cup. Spoon the mixture into the cups and sprinkle with the shredded Cheddar Cheese. Bake in a preheated 400 degrees F. oven for 12 minutes. Serve hot. Don't forget veggies or a salad.

VARIATIONS: Use 1 13-oz can of chili beans in place of the meat mixture (or 1 13-oz can of baked beans, and frankfurters or hot dogs that have been cut into pieces) in place of the meat mixture. You can also add green bell pepper or a hot pepper to the above recipe with good results.
