======================================
My mom got this recipe from some 1950s magazine...I have improved it over the many years I have been making them.
BAR-B-CUPS
½ Red Onion
some Garlic (optional)
some Rosemary (optional)
1 Frying Pan
1 pound Ground Beef
Some sort of No-Stick (spray) Product
Muffin Pan(s)
4 Tubes Hungry Jack Biscuits (or something similar)
some Seasoned Salt (optional)
1 box Brown Sugar
1 bottle Your Favourite Bar-B-Que Sauce
1 bottle Another Bar-B-Que Sauce
1 bag Doritos Nacho Chips
1 package Shredded Jack Cheese
some Large Plates
Dice the red onion and (optional) garlic. Mix with the (optional) rosemary. Set aside. If your Jack Cheese isn't already shredded, cut it into slices about 1 inch square, and put in refrigerator.
Put the Ground Beef into the frying pan; cook over medium heat. Drain the grease. Repeat until little or no grease comes out of the meat.
While the meat is cooking, coat the muffin pans with the no-stick (spray) product. Open a tube of biscuits, and remove one biscuit. Pull the biscuit apart so there's two of them that are half as thin as the original biscuit was. Overlap the two bisuit parts so they make a figure-8 pattern (like the infinity symbol); press them together in the middle and place in one of the spots in the greased muffin pan. Repeat for the rest of the bisuits in the tube. When each muffin pan is filled, put it in the refrigerator.
NOTE: Muffin pans tend to have 6 holes in them and the biscuit tubes have 10 biscuits in them. Go figure.
Alternate between draining the grease from the cooking meat and filling the muffin pans with biscuits.
When all the grease has been removed from the cooking meat, mix in the diced onion (garlic, and rosemary). Add some Seasoned Salt if you like. Turn the heat down low, stir and let simmer for a little bit. If you still have another muffin pan to fill with biscuits, do that now.
Add about 2-3 tablespoons of brown sugar to the cooking meat. Mix and let simmer. Open the two bottles of barbecue sauce and mix in about half of each. Stir and make sure there's enough sauce to change the colour of all the meat, but not su much that the meat is sitting in a lake of sauce. Let simmer for a few minutes.
Preheat the over per the instructions on the biscuit tubes.
Taste the meat - if it tastes too much like barbecue sauce, add another tablespoon of brown sugar. Mix and let simmer. Taste again until the tang of the barbecue sauce has been blunted by the sugar. If you end up adding too much sugar and it tastes too sweet, add more sauce and let it cook some more. When the sugar/sauce misture is right...you'll know - it will taste DELICIOUS!
At this point, everyone in the house will smell what you have been doing and will ask "what is that?" Scoop up some of the meat with a Dorito chip and feed it to them. Refrain from eating all the meat at this point.
Turn off the heat under the meat, take the loaded muffin pans out of the refrigerator and line them up on the counter. Spoon the meat into them and fill each one just below the top of each biscuit (you don't want to fill them with too much - they will expand). Any leftover meat can be wolfed down at this point or saved for yummy bar-b-cue sandwiches tomorrow.
Sprinkle some of the jack cheese on top of the meat on each one, or if you used slices put a slice on each one.
Put the muffin pans in the pre-heated oven. Fill any empty spots in the muffin pans about halfway with water before placing in the oven.
Check the bar-b-cups a few minutes BEFORE the end of the recommended cooking time on the biscuit tube. They are done when they are light brown. You don't want them to get dark brown or burnt.
Remove the pans from the oven and QUICKLY remove the bar-b-cups and stack them on the plate(s). Distract your drooling friends with the Doritos while the bar-b-cups cool for 5-10 minutes.
NOTE: In my experience, most people will eat as many bar-b-cups as they can!
Bar-b-cups actually taste even better when refrigerated overnight and re-heated in the microwave the next day. However, due to their extreme tastyness, this is usually an impossibility unless another batch is made after the first one is consumed.
Enjoy!
