Meat Muffins

A delicious new recipe that I have just come across involves my very favorite tea biscuits and ground beef. It's very easy to make and it's delicious! The first time I made them, Paul called home from work and asked as he usually does, "what's for dinner?" This time I replied that we were having meat muffins he wasn't exactly enthusiastic. However, once he had a taste of them it's all he's been wanting. So needless to say, I've been making a lot of them lately.

Here's the recipe :)


Tea biscuits
2 cups flour
4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 tsp salt
3 tbsp sugar
1/2 cup margarine
2/3 cup cold milk

Filling
1lb lean ground beef
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup bbq sauce (I use a sauce called Roadkill BBQ sauce, use your favorite)

Stir together flour, baking powder, cream of tartar, salt and sugar in a mixing bowl. Cut in the margarine. Then add milk, mix together until a dough forms.
Roll into flat circles large enough to fit in the muffin tin. Press into the muffin tin forming the bottom and up the sides.

Fully cook the ground beef and remove to a bowl. Add the ketchup and bbq sauce. mix together and fill the muffin cups.

Bake in a pre-heated oven at 375F for 18 to 20 mins or until golden brown.

and voila! A meat muffin.
