INGREDIENTS

1 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 to 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 can (12 oz) Pillsbury® Grands!® Jr. Golden Layers® Refrigerated Buttermilk or Flaky Biscuits
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar or American cheese (2 oz)

DIRECTIONS

1. Heat oven to 400°F. Spray 10 regular-size muffin cups with CRISCO® Original No-Stick Cooking Spray, or grease with shortening. In 10-inch skillet, cook beef over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly cooked; drain. Stir in barbecue sauce, onion and brown sugar. Cook 1 minute to blend flavors, stirring constantly.

2. Separate dough into 10 biscuits. Place 1 biscuit in each muffin cup. Firmly press in bottom and up sides, forming 1/4-inch rim over edge of cup. Spoon about 1/4 cup beef mixture into each biscuit-lined cup. Sprinkle each with cheese.

3. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until edges of biscuits are golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from muffin cups.

I think this would also be very yummy with Browned burger, marinara sauce and shredded cheese cooked together then added in the biscuits!! Mmmm

Just an update, I tried this variation out on some family Christmas Day and it was definitely a hit! And it's good reheated!
