Ingredients

• 8 pieces canned flaky biscuits
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 cup barbecue sauce
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup yellow onion, finely diced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place the canned biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Step 3

While the biscuits bake, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until softened.

Step 5

Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until the meat is browned and fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes.

Step 6

Drain any excess grease from the skillet, then season the cooked beef with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 7

Pour the barbecue sauce into the skillet and stir to combine. Simmer the mixture over low heat for 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Split each baked biscuit in half horizontally and place the bottom halves onto serving plates.

Step 9

Top each biscuit half with a generous scoop of the barbecue meat mixture.

Step 10

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the barbecue meat while it’s still warm, allowing the cheese to melt slightly.

Step 11

Place the top halves of the biscuits over the filling, or serve them alongside for an open-faced option.

Step 12

Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
