BBQ Beef Cups

Yum! These were really good and so simple.

This recipe was originally from:

Ashleigh's Edibles

• 1 pound lean ground beef (I had leftover meat)
• 2 TBS McCormick Grill Mates "Hamburger" Seasoning (they did not have this at my store so I used the sloppy joe mix), or just use salt, pepper, garlic, roasted red pepper, and sugar)
• 1/4 cup barbeque sauce
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 2 TBS mustard
• 1 (12 oz) package refrigerated biscuit dough--I used the reduced fat Grand's (I think these may have been a little big because I couldn't get alot of the meat mixture into them after they puffed up)
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (divided)- I used a mixture
  

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease muffin cups.


2. In large skillet, brown beef with seasonings, Drain excess fat.


3. Stir in BBQ sauce, ketchup, mustard, and simmer a few minutes on low heat.


4. Add 1/4 cup cheese, heat until melted


5. Meanwhile, flatten each biscuit and press into muffin cups. Make sure the dough comes to the top of the pan.


6. Bake plain biscuits 2-3 minutes.


7. Remove from oven and add beef mixture.


8. Bake in preheated oven for 13 minutes.


9. Sprinkle with cheese and bake 3-4 more minutes.

Burgers, Oven Fries and Oven Squash

Tonight was really good, especially for my meat-lover husband. The burgers were really thick so I just ate mine without the bun with a fork. I just tossed a bunch of things together for the burgers---1 lb. meat (93/7), diced onions, several TBS Worcheshire, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and Italian bread crumbs.

Oven Fries-I used Russet potatoes that had been soaked in water for about an hour. I then drizzled olive oil, salt, pepper and topped with parmesan (note to self--spray foil on cookie sheet next time!) They kind of stuck a little bit. I baked at 400 for about 50 minutes. Next time I will probably use a different kind of potato. Brad liked them, but they seemed a bit hard to me.

Oven-Fried Squash- I cut the squash into slices and dipped into milk first and then coated with a mixture of parmesan and regular bread crumbs. I cooked them along with the potatoes but only for about 30 minutes. These were surprisingly good. I didn't think I even liked squash!
