Well, I know this may not sound appetizing.... but these little uglies taste great!!!
My friend Kelli was making these one night and posted it on Facebook.
So of course, I was intrigued and looked them up.
I actually have a recipe for something similar to these called BBQ cups.... but I like the name uglies better!
Anyway, I finally got the chance to make them and was very happy I did.
Not only were they super easy, they were something different that I figured the kids would like
I was right!
The great thing about these is that you can make them with fresh burger or use leftovers you have in your
fridge.
See the TIPS section below to see what I mean.
Happy Cooking!
Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef or turkey
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/2 cups barbeque sauce
1 (10 ounce) package refrigerated biscuit dough
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Lightly grease muffin tin
In a large frying pan, cook ground beef/turkey with onion and garlic powder until evenly brown
Drain off the grease.
Stir in the barbeque sauce and simmer for another 3 minutes.
Roll out each biscuit to fit into the muffin tin. *(see Tips section)
Put the biscuit in the muffin tin and fold up sides to create a cup shape.
Fill each biscuit fill almost to the top with the meat mixture
Top with cheddar cheese.
Bake about 15 minutes or until biscuits are baked, cheese is melted and tops are golden brown.
***Reviews:
We love love loved these! It is a rare thing in this house that everyone is happy with dinner. This was one of those nights.... Yay! These are being added to the "favorite " list in our house.
**Tips:
I used crossiant dough instead of biscuit dough because it's what I had on hand. I just pressed them together and made a rectangle (see above photo) and then cut it in half. It doesn't have to be a perfect circle...I mean, they are called Uglies after all.
Also, I have heard that these are great with pulled pork or shredded bbq chicken. I am guessing that is true. I will definitely try these next time I make pulled pork. It's always great to do something fun with leftovers.
Another idea is to make them with taco meat and top them with cheese.. then add lettuce and diced tomato after they come out of the oven. What a fun way to eat a "taco"!!!
