BBQ Beef Cups

10 years ago

Hi everyone,
Mum and I tried a new recipe today and we loved it! You take 3/4 lb. ground beef, brown it with onions (if you wish to use them), add 2 Tblsp. brown sugar, and 1/2 cup BBQ sauce, and stir. Then, you take a can of biscuits (10), and press into ungreased muffin tins (shape them up the sides a little bit). Add the meat, and top with shredded Cheddar cheese. Bake for 12 minutes in a preheated 400 degree oven. Here is what they look like all baked.

I ate mine with waffle cut fries (prepared in mum's new deep fryer she got a couple months ago), and green beans and bacon (my favorite veggie side dish).

Brad, that looks and sounds so good. Think I'm going to have to go in and make a batch myself. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks everyone for giving me your ideas. I don't know what kind of clay I have. I only know it's gray, compacted and when we are really dry it literally turns into a cement like material. We bought a shed recently and needed to install those trailer ties to anchor it down. We were trying to dig the holes during a drought. My husband managed to get down about 3 or 4 inches with the post hole digger (remember he was digging these holes right up next to the building so there was no "getting his muscles into it") After getting that far he got a large screw driver and a hammer and tried chiseling with little success. Finally I got the bright idea to put water in the holes. That helped out a lot. Yes Karen, I will probably purchase a wildflower mix suited for my area from a reputable source. Since I am the one doing the bulk of the work on this one, I think I will give the leaves a shot. Hauling sand is just more work than this old bod can handle especially since I have 10 cubic yards of mulch to move. Ugh. Thanks again for all the wonderful suggestions.

Okay, I made this tonoght for some BBQ pork tomorrow. It is VERY vinegary. When I first tasted it, I didn't like it at all but then I tasted it with a small piece of the roast I was cooking and decided I Did like it. It's something I have never had and I think it took me awhile to adjust my taste buds. It is VERY thin and I thought I must have done something wrong. I did add a bit more mayonaise to cut the vinegar a bit. I also used real apple cider vinegar with the mother and that might have made a difference. That is stronger than say a Hienz vinegar.

Precooking beef ribs for barbecued ribs?
Q
Comments (4)
You would be better off slow cooking them in the oven. 225 degrees for around 5 or 6 hours. Put a wire rack on top of a throwaway pan and fill the pan 1/2 way with water. Put the ribs on the rack, fat side up for 2 hours and then flip for the balance of the cooking time. Here's a dry rub, specifically designed for beef: Boca Boys Brisket Rub - also good for beef ribs 2 tablespoons chili powder 2 teaspoons ground cumin 2 tablespoons paprika 1 teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon ground coriander 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 tablespoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper 1 tablespoon salt 1 tablespoon dried oregano

Brad, please don't be miffed at her, she may be doing the best she can. When someone's health is out of their control, and they are in a facility where they would rather not be, the change - even little changes in routine - can be hard. Can I guess that she has very certain ways she does things at home? All is very different for her there, just be patient, and loving. I don't pretend to know her current condition either so forgive me if I overstep...but when both my FIL and my brother's FIL were having heart issues, the lower oxygen levels by a heart not functioning up to par caused some temper, and some confusion too. Less oxygen in the blood almost looked a little like dementia, thoughts weren't clear. Better hydrated, and with some supplemental oxygen provided, thoughts/actions cleared again. Just be kind to her, and firm when you need to be, but still kind. This is a hard time for all of you having to deal with her being ill, hope tomorrow goes better. ;0)

Bcskye, I hope they turn out well for you!

Lucille, green beans with bacon and onions is one of life's greatest pleasures :). I take a bag of frozen green beans and make them according to directions. I cut up 7 pieces of bacon and fry them with some frozen chopped onions. Once fried, I add the bacon and onions to the steamed green beans in a casserole dish, along with a little salt and pepper, add a few slices of butter, microwave for a little over a minute (1:10 or so), stir, and serve!

Used to make those all the time for my grandson. He named them meat muffins :o) Instead of bbq sauce, etc, I made my version of sloppy joes. Worked perfectly. They freeze well.

I tried the BBQ beef cups, and my suggestion is that they are quite sweet. If I make them again, I will omit the brown sugar and reduce the amount of BBQ sauce. Fun to make.

Sheilajoyce, it was perfect for us. The BBQ sauce we used is one of the new Heinz flavors (Carolina Vinegar Style), so that helped cut the sweetness from the brown sugar.

Moon, they did not taste as sweet over the next few days when I reheated 2 in the microwave for my breakfast. I had used more meat (I had a 1.20 pound package) in the original recipe without increasing the sauce or sugar. This is a great breakfast because it seems to stick with me and keep me satisfied all morning well into the afternoon. I have more canned biscuits, so I plan to try one using fork crumbled sausage, onion, a Tablespoon of raw scrambled egg and shredded cheese. Maybe with a dash of hot sauce in the sausage or egg. Sounds like a good breakfast too. Thanks for the recipe.

I used chopped onion and 1/2 pound of Jimmy Dean bulk sausage, and I filled the cups with it and then added 2 tablespoons of egg beaten with a little water. The sausage is overpowering but it is a basic idea. I just need to figure out what to use to give it flavor but not too much.
