FAST FIX

SLOPPY JOE BISCUIT CUPS

I’m a busy teacher and mom, so weekday meals with shortcuts like this are definitely a huge help to me. I always have to share the recipe when I take these to school.

START TO FINISH: 30 MIN. • MAKES: 5 SERVINGS


1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)

1/4 cup each finely chopped celery, onion and green pepper

1/2 cup barbecue sauce

1 tube (12 ounces) refrigerated flaky biscuits (10 count)

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1. Heat oven to 400°. In a large skillet, cook the beef and vegetables over medium heat 5-7 minutes or until beef is no longer pink, breaking up the beef into crumbles; drain. Stir in barbecue sauce; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat; simmer, uncovered, for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

2. Separate the dough into 10 biscuits; flatten to 5-in. circles. Press onto the bottom and up sides of greased muffin cups. Fill with beef mixture.

3. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown. Sprinkle with cheese; bake 1-2 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.
