Meaty biscuit cups are kid-friendly

By National Cattlemen's Beef Association

For a simple and quick dish based on ground beef, try Sloppy Joe Biscuit Cups. Serve with cut-up fruits and raw vegetables.
   Sloppy Joe Biscuit Cups
   (Preparation and cooking time about 35 minutes)
   1 pound lean ground beef
   1/4 cup each of finely chopped celery, onion and green bell pepper
   1/2 cup prepared barbecue sauce
   1/4 teaspoon salt
   2-ounce can refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
   5 slices (1 ounce each) Cheddar cheese, quartered
   Heat oven to 400 F.
   Brown ground beef, celery, onion and bell pepper 6 minutes or until outside surface of beef is no longer pink. Pour off drippings. Stir in barbecue sauce and salt. Simmer, uncovered, 2 to 3 minutes; stir occasionally.
   Meanwhile, place 1 biscuit into each of 10 ungreased standard-size muffin cups; press dough firmly onto bottoms and up sides of cups. Spoon about 1/4 cup of beef mixture into each biscuit cup.
   Bake in 400 F oven 10 to 11 minutes or until edges of biscuits are golden brown. Arrange 2 pieces of cheese on top of each biscuit cup. Continue baking 1 to 2 minutes or until cheese is melted. Let stand 1 minute. Loosen edges of biscuit cups before removing from pan.
   Makes 10 servings.
