Ingredients

125 g chopped white onion (from ½ medium onion)

225 g ground sirloin

15 g low sodium Taco seasoning, plus extra for garnish (optional)

142 g diced tomatoes with green chiles (such as RO*TEL®)

113 g processed American cheese (such as Velveeta®), cut into large chunks

2 (16.3-oz.) cans refrigerated biscuits, cold

60 g unsalted butter, melted

Taco sauce for dipping

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add onion and cook for about 1 minute. Add ground beef and cook until browned and crumbly, about 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in taco seasoning and cook for 1 minute. Mix in tomatoes and reduce heat to medium-low.

Step 2

Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture simmers. Cook for 3 minutes and reduce heat to low. Add in cheese and stir until melted and fully combined. Remove from heat and let cool completely.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 175°C. Grease 2 12-cup muffin tins.

Step 4

Roll out biscuits one at a time into 10-cm circles. Spoon about 15 g of filling onto the center of each circle.

Step 5

Bring dough up around the filling, pinching it together to seal the bottom. Work your way around until the filling is fully encased in the biscuit cup.

Step 6

Place each biscuit cup seam side down into prepared muffin tins.

Step 7

Brush each biscuit cup with melted butter and sprinkle with taco seasoning.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven, rotating once halfway through, until deep golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes.

Step 9

Let the biscuit cups rest on a cooling rack for 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy on their own or with taco sauce for dipping.
