Holiday party planning is approaching so I thought I would feature a few recipes that will make you the party everyone wants to get invited to. This first recipe can be used for either Taco Cups, BBQ Cups or Sloppy Joe Cups. An important thing to remember is make sure the meat mixture is thicker than you would usually serve it to avoid a soggy appetizer.
~ SLOPPY JOE CUPS ~
Ingredients:
1 pound of ground beef
1 can of Manwich
1 (12 ounce - 10 count) can of refrigerated biscuits
1 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese (optional)
Direction: In a skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in the spaghetti sauce or Manwich a little at a time. The mixture should be firm. Cook over medium heat for 5-10 minutes or until heated completely. Set aside. Now press the biscuits into the bottom and up the sides of small greased muffin cups. Spoon the meat mixture into the center of each cup (level with the top). Bake at 375 degrees F for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Sprinkle with the cheddar cheese (optional); bake an additional 3 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
