Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 cup Barbecue sauce
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 8 pieces Canned biscuit dough
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Dried parsley (optional, for garnish)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring often, until the onion is soft and translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the barbecue sauce, salt, and black pepper. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 5

On a clean surface, flatten each biscuit dough piece into a 5-inch circle using your hands or a rolling pin.

Step 6

Place about 2 tablespoons of the barbecue beef mixture into the center of each dough circle, then top with a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 7

Carefully fold the edges of the dough up and over the filling, pinching to seal the edges completely to form a bun. Make sure the seams are tightly closed.

Step 8

Place the sealed buns seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each bun.

Step 9

Brush the tops of the buns with melted butter. Optionally, sprinkle with dried parsley for a touch of color and flavor.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, with extra barbecue sauce on the side if desired.
