Kids in the kitchen: Stuffed Biscuit Cups

Stuffed Biscuits Cups? I couldn't come up with a better name for this dish. I'm open to suggestions. This is a really easy recipe. And my budding chef (soon to be 4yo daughter) wants to help me cook every night. So I gave her the tasks of making the dough cups.

What you need:

• a muffin tin
• non-stick cooking spray
• a canister of biscuit dough (or home made biscuit dough if you prefer)
• ground turkey (optional) 
• blend of veggies fresh or frozen, I used a microwaveable pouch of corn and black blean blend from Target
• BBQ sauce (Hunt's Honey BBQ)
• shredded cheddar cheese (feel free to substitute for any cheese that melts)

*** the inside of the cups can be filled with your preferred ingredients for "stuffing" the cups. Try different combos like pepperoni, marinara sauce and veggies for a "pizza" inspired version for example.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to temperature per your biscuit container instructions (350 degrees)
2. cook your ingredients (brown the meat if you're using a protein, saute your veggies, then add about 1/3 cup of sauce) not too soupy
3. simmer for about 3 min
4. let mixture cool for a few min and absorb some sauce
5. spray your muffin tin with non-stick spray
6. KID JOB: mold each biscuit circle into the muffin cup, pressing the middle out to fill up the sides (see photo)
7. spoon mixture into biscuit "cups"
8. KID JOB: top with shredded cheese
9. bake for 8-10 min or until the biscuit edges puff and turn golden brown and cheese is melted
10. let cool for a few minutes before serving.

These were so good that I forgot to photograph the finished version before we devoured them :-)
