    The first time I made these BBQ Beef Muffins was for a Holiday potluck the family was having. Can you believe that I didn't even have a chance to have one as they were gone within minutes!

    This recipe is super easy to make. And I mean easy. If you are able to brown meat, you can make these delicious appetizers. Heck they might even make a nice lunch or dinner as well.

    My wife asked me to make this recipe using ground turkey instead. While I haven't gotten around to it yet, you would simply need to change some of the ingredients added to the ground beef.

    While you can use whatever kind of canned biscuits you have on hand, I personally prefer the flavor and consistency of the flaky buttermilk biscuits for this recipe. But feel free to experiment. That's what it's all about!

    🐄 How to Handle Raw Beef

    Thaw raw ground beef on a plate on the lowest shelf of the refrigerator, to avoid dripping onto other foods.
    Keep raw and ready-to-eat meats separate.
    Wash hands thoroughly before and after handling raw ground beef. Wash cutting boards, bowls, and utensils used to prepare raw ground beef with hot soapy water and rinse well.
    Use separate plates to carry raw ground beef patties to the cooking area and cooked patties to the serving area.
    Use a Thermometer to ensure Ground Beef Reaches the Safely Cooked Internal Temperature of 160°F.
