I used frozen mini tart shells; set them out on a cookie sheet to fill. We all know our own ovens. In mine, they bake the best on the rack 2nd from the bottom. They were great!
This recipe is simple and my family loves it Great also with my homemade BBQ sauce
Excellent recipe! I served the beef mixture on whole wheat English muffins and topped it with slices of American cheese. Very good!
Solid recipe. Nothing amazing but tastes good and my kids loved it. I agree with others that baking the dough for a couple of minutes alone would probably help with the underbaked feeling the bottom has. I also did not see the point in adding the cheese at the end. It works just fine to add it at the beginning and it’s simpler to do it that way.
Taste was good but too much biscuit.
Amazing quick dinner recipe
My family liked this dish. But I split the biscuits in half because they were too thick. It’s a keeper!
Couldn’t get a picture because my family ate them all before I had a chance. I highly recommend this recipe! You will not be disappointed. We used sweet roll biscuits and it was amazing!
This recipe was fun and easy to make with my 4 & 2 yr old grandkids. And the best part is THEY LOVED IT!!! Can’t wait until we make it again.
Such a fun dinner! Great to be able to make ahead and it had that comfort food feel. Mine made 12 biscuits and it used 1lb ground beef.
We learned to make these in my 8th grade cooking class. The teacher called them “barbi-cups.” They are quite good. Instead of canned bisquits, I whipped up a batch of my homemade bisquite dough. Also, I like to add some fresh finely chopped onion to the meat instead of the dried minced onion; otherwise I make them as written. Thanks for posting the recipe.
My husband was the only one in the family that liked this. They were a bit messy and the barbecue sauce flavor barely came through. Will not make these again.
I made this and it was so good!!! I used sloppy joe mix instead of what the recipe called for because it’s what I had on hand. But it turned out so good!! I let the cheer brown maybe a bit too much, BUT it was still yummy!!!
I decided to make this for an easy weeknight dinner. I baked the biscuits for about 4-5 minutes before adding the bbq beef and popping back into the oven. It was a major hit with my husband and kiddos so it will be incorporated into my weekly meal plans more regularly. I hesitated on adding the cheese, as I’m not big on cheese with bbq but it was SO good. Add the cheese! You can season the beef to your liking and onions, peppers etc. Delicious recipe!
It was good, used flaky biscuits.
If your ground beef is already cooked from a previous meal then this is super quick and easy. I thought it was a good meal!
It was okay definitely quick and easy to make
Followed the recipe exactly…I liked them, but they weren’t a big hit with the kids. I have been told that the next time I make them, to put less bbq sauce.
Cut the biscuits in half and line a mini-muffin pan. These are so good!
Quick and simple! My niece and her fiancée stopped by and I threw it in the oven and they loved it. Not anything I would change about it.
I use Heinz sweet Hawaiian Smokey BBQ sauce. makes things so much easier… my family loves it and requests it at least once a month.
