Barbecue Beef Bundles

Ingredients

  • 3/4 pound lean (90%) ground beef
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 2 teaspoons vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons Pantry Barbecue Seasoning Mix
  • 3 ounces cheddar cheese, grated, divided (3/4 cup)
  • 1/2 cup green onions with tops, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, pressed
  • 1 (17.3 ounce) package grand-size flaky or buttermilk biscuits (8 biscuits)
  • 1 (10.2 ounce) package grand-size flaky or buttermilk biscuits (5 biscuits)

Instructions

  1. Cook ground beef in large (10-inch) skillet over medium heat 8-10 minutes or until beef is no longer pink, breaking into crumbles; drain and set aside.
  2. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. In small bowl, combine ketchup, vinegar and Seasoning Mix; mix well and set aside.
  3. Grate cheese. Slice green onions. Chop bell pepper. In a bowl, combine cooked beef, 1/2 cup of the cheese, green onions, bell pepper, garlic pressed with Garlic Press and half of the barbecue sauce; mix well.
  4. Separate 12 biscuits and place on cutting board. (Discard remaining biscuit or set aside for another use.) Using a roller, roll each biscuit into a 5-inch disk, flouring dough as needed. Using a large scoop, divide beef mixture evenly onto center of each biscuit.
  5. Gather up edges of dough over filling, pinching lightly to seal. Place biscuits, seam side down, into muffin pan. Do not press down into cup. Using serrated bread knife, cut through top of each bundle, making a crisscross pattern.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
  7. Remove from oven; sprinkle remaining cheese evenly over bundles. Remove from pan to cooling rack.
  8. Serve with remaining barbecue sauce.
