Ingredients
buttery cooking spray
1 package (17.3 oz) reduced fat whole wheat refrigerated biscuits
(We used Pillsbury Grands! Homestyle Reduced-Fat Golden Wheat refrigerated Biscuits.)
OR
1 package (16.3 oz) regular refrigerated biscuits
(We used Pillsbury Grands! Original Biscuits.)
2 Tbsp. flour
1/2 cup lower sugar ketchup
(We used Heinz Reduced Sugar Tomato Ketchup.)
3 Tbsp. Splenda brown sugar blend
1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp. chili powder
1 1/4 pounds 93% lean ground beef
1 cup, reduced fat sharp cheddar cheese
(We used Sargento Reduced Fat Sharp Cheddar Cheese Made with 2% Milk.)
Tangy barbecue sauce on a meat and cheese covered muffin. If you're having a party, you can make a couple trays of these in advance, cover them with tinfoil and store them in the refrigerator up to 4 hours before putting them in the oven to finish them off.
1. Use buttery spray to lightly coat each muffin cup in a 12 cup muffin tin.
2. Divide dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each one into a ball, then take a pinch of flour and sprinkle it on the counter to prevent the dough from sticking. Flatten each ball of dough into a circle about 5-inches across. Press each flattened piece of dough into the bottom and sides of the muffin tin.
3. Mix together in a medium-sized bowl the ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar and chili powder. This is the barbecue sauce. Set aside.
4. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, lightly coat with buttery spray, then cook the ground beef until it is no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
5. Pour the ground beef into the barbecue sauce bowl and mix together thoroughly. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
6. Divide the beef between the biscuit lined muffin tins, about 2 heaping tablespoons per biscuit. Sprinkle each with equal amounts of cheese. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Yield: 12 Servings
You can freeze individual portions for easy re-heating later.
Microwave for approximately 2-3 minutes. Keep the container open a little to allow steam to escape.
