I was talking to my sister on the phone and I mentioned that I was making meat cups. As is generally the reaction, she immediately demanded the recipe, so I am posting it here for her:
1. Sautée ground meat (I use turkey, most like beef).
2. Take some Pillsbury Grands dough. Tear the dough in half height-wise (so each biscuit would now be two of equal diameter just not as tall). Put said dough in muffin cups.
3. Put meat in muffin cups.
4. Bake 10-12 minutes on 350 (or according to biscuit instructions).
It's that easy. Now the trick is combining flavors. Yesterday I seasoned the meat with teriyaki as I cooked, then stirred in horseradish mustard, mozzarella cheese, and maple syrup. In the past I've had good luck with garlic and cheddar. The source of the recipe (my friend Becky) always makes them with some nice sweet barbecue sauce. Go with your heart.
Just make sure you eat them warm, or nuke them. Once they get cold I really don't enjoy the texture of the rolls.
Also, when talking about them, you must always stress the long "e" sound. "mEEt cups." Emphasize it like you're some sort of villain discussing his evil plan. That's just how it is, capisce?
