1/2 cup ketchup

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 tablespoon prepared mustard

1-1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

1 tube (12 ounces) refrigerated buttermilk biscuits

1/2 cup cubed Velveeta cheese

Instructions:

Brown the Beef: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until no longer pink, breaking it into crumbles. Drain any excess fat.

Flavorful Sauce: Stir in the ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Remove from heat and set aside.

Biscuit Cups: Press each biscuit onto the bottom and up the sides of a greased muffin cup.

Beef Filling: Spoon the beef mixture into the biscuit cups.

Cheesy Topping: Top each cup with cubed Velveeta cheese.

Bake: Bake at 400°F until the cups are golden brown (about 14-16 minutes).
