Barbecue Cups

Barbecue cups have always been one of my favorite meals! That flaky biscuit with the sweet barbecue meat is just PERFECTION! Growing up on a cattle farm means that we always had lotsssss of ground beef on hand. My mom was always looking for creative ways to use up some of that beef and this recipe is great.

Church cookbooks are literally the bread and butter of the South. This cookbook, which has a photo of my Nana on it, is my all-time favorite! I grew up with my mom and Nana making lots of recipes from this cookbook. Not only did they make recipes from it, they also contributed quite a few recipes. This barbecue cups recipe came from the Heaven's Bounty ​cookbook. It goes a little like this:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Start by browning your ground turkey in a pan over medium heat. 

Once you've browned your meat and drained off the excess grease. Measure out 1/2 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce. 

Add barbecue sauce and 1 tablespoon....

...make that 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and 1 tablespoon of minced onion (not pictured)

Now mix all that goodness together! 

It's time to pop open those flaky biscuits and mold them into your lightly greased muffin tin (So the recipe my mom uses says an ungreased muffin tin, but I'm too afraid to try that). Be sure your biscuits come over the edges of the cups.

Load up those biscuits with that delicious looking meat mixture

Top with grated cheese, if you think you've added enough, then just keep sprinkling. Throw those beauties in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until the biscuits puff up. Once they come out of the oven, it's time to ENJOY!
