Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • ¾ pound of ground meat
  • 1 (6 oz.) can of tomato paste
  • 1 Tbsp. dried minced onion (I like Tastefully Simple's Onion)
  • 1 tsp. Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 1 can of refrigerated biscuits (large size works best)
  • ½-3/4 cup of shredded Mozerella cheese

Equipment

  • 1 Box grater
  • 1 Cutting Board Mats
  • 1 Manual can opener
  • 1 Measuring set
  • 1 Muffin pan
  • 1 Nonstick sauté pan with lid
  • 1 Silicone whisk set
  • 1 Stainless steel prep knife

Method
 

  1. Brown and drain the meat.
  2. Stir in tomato paste, onion and Italian seasoning. It will be thick
  3. Cook on low for about 5 minutes stirring frequently.
  4. Lightly spray a muffin tin with a non-stick spray, then press biscuits into the bottom and sides. (For larger size muffins tins I use a full biscuit, but for a normal size I split the refrigerated biscuit in half so there isn't so much bread.)
  5. Fill each biscuit cup with the meat mixture and top with cheese. ( I like to layer a small amount of the meat, cheese, more meat and top with cheese.)
  6. Bake at 400 degrees for about 12 minutes or until golden brown.
  7. This recipe makes between 12 and 16 cups, depending on the size of tin and biscuits you buy.
