Ingredients
Scale
Meat Mixture
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup dill pickles, finely chopped (optional)
Biscuit Cups
- 1 can (16 ounces) refrigerated biscuit dough
- Butter or cooking spray to lightly grease muffin tin
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin to prevent sticking.
- Cook Ground Beef Mixture: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is browned and fully cooked through. Drain the excess grease from the pan.
- Season and Mix: Stir in the garlic powder, salt, black pepper, ketchup, and yellow mustard into the beef mixture. Cook for another minute to combine flavors, then remove from heat.
- Add Cheese and Pickles: Mix the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped dill pickles (if using) into the warm beef mixture, stirring until evenly combined.
- Form Biscuit Cups: Separate the biscuit dough into individual biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a circle large enough to fit into the muffin cups, then press them gently into the cups to form small cup shapes.
- Fill and Bake: Spoon the prepared beef mixture evenly into each biscuit cup. Place the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the biscuit edges are golden brown and fully cooked.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the cups to cool for a few minutes before carefully removing them. Serve warm, optionally with extra shredded cheese, ketchup, or mustard for dipping.
Notes
- These biscuit cups make a convenient and tasty meal or snack for busy weeknights or entertaining guests.
- Add extra shredded cheddar on top of each cup during the last few minutes of baking for a cheesier finish.
- Serve with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite burger condiments to enhance flavor.
- You can substitute regular pickles with sweet or spicy pickles based on preference or omit them altogether.
- Make sure to drain the grease well from the cooked beef to avoid soggy biscuit cups.
