3/4 lb. ground beef
1/2 cup BBQ sauce
1 tbsp. onion, minced
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
2 tbsp. brown sugar
1 (8 oz.) can refrigerator biscuits
3/4 cup cheese, grated (any kind)

Brown beef with onion; drain. If beef is very lean, add 1 tsp. olive oil for better browning.

Stir in sauce, garlic powder, and sugar. Separate biscuits; place each in 1 muffin cup, pressing dough up sides to edge of cup.

Spoon meat mixture into cups, sprinkle on cheese.

Mexican Burger Cups: Use 1/2 cup mild (or medium) salsa instead of the BBQ sauce. A chopped ancho or chipotle pepper may be added when browning the ground beef.

Bake at 400°F for 10-12 minutes.
