Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1 large onion, thinly sliced
2 tbsp butter
1 cup cooked rice
1 cup beef broth
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried thyme
Salt & pepper to taste
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 package (12-count) refrigerated biscuit dough
Instructions:
Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.
Caramelize Onions: Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Set aside.
Cook Beef Mixture: In the same skillet, brown ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess fat. Stir in rice, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5 more minutes, then fold in caramelized onions and half of the Swiss cheese.
Assemble Muffin Cups: Roll out the biscuit dough, cutting each biscuit in half. Press halves into muffin tin cups, forming a crust.
Fill & Bake: Spoon the beef-onion mixture into each biscuit cup, then top with the remaining Swiss cheese.
Bake to Perfection: Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and cheese is bubbly. Let cool slightly, then garnish with fresh parsley.
Serving Tips:
Pair with a side of French onion soup for a cozy meal.
Add a drizzle of garlic butter for extra richness.
