Beef Popems
- 1 pound Lean Ground Beef
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
- Salt And Pepper, to taste
- 1 cup Bottled BBQ Sauce (we Use Sweet Baby Rays)
- 1 package (about 16 Oz.) Pillsbury Grands Buttermilk Biscuits (Not The Little BiscuitsThe BIG Ones!)
- 1/2 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- Preheat oven to the temperature indicated on the package of biscuits.
- Brown and crumble the ground beef in a skillet until completely cooked.
- Drain off fat if necessary.
- Season the cooked ground beef with salt, pepper, and onion powder.
- Remove from heat and stir in the BBQ sauce.
- Open the package of biscuits and flatten each biscuit out.
- Spray a muffin pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Press each biscuit into a muffin pan, making biscuit cups.
- Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of the ground beef into each biscuit cup.
- (If you use Pillsbury brand biscuits, there will be eight biscuit cups, and four empty spots in your muffin pan.
- I put a little bit of water in each of the empty spots to prevent the pan from scorching.)
- Put the filled muffin pan in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes or until the biscuits are cooked and golden brown on the sides.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of each biscuit.
- Put the muffin pan back in the oven for another 3 to 5 minutes until the cheese is melted.
- Serve immediately.
- Makes 4-6 servings.
- I have made variations of these depending upon my mood, but the kids and my hubby still like the BBQ version best.
- Some the variations I have tried are to add diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and parmesan cheese to the ground beef instead of the BBQ sauce for an Italian version (I really like this one!
- ), or add taco seasoning and olives to the ground beef instead of the BBQ sauce for a Mexican version.
- Use your imagination.
- I dont think you can go wrong with these popems!
