Mini BBQ Beef Pies
Posted by Amy | Filed under Contests & Giveaways, Food, Main Dishes
I really don’t know what my deal is? I’ve always liked to cook a little, but now I’ve become addicted with creating new recipes, cooking and baking. I think the food blog bug bit me or something! When I visited my mom’s last week, I had to go grocery shopping so I could bake something even though her fridge was full. It’s like I just had to do it. I am hooked!
I wanted to share a recipe I came up with last night. (yes, I cooked late last night and blogged about it- what’s wrong with me?? LOL!) This recipe is nothing fancy, but sure is good and something I can see serving at football parties this fall.
Mini BBQ Beef Pies
- 1 lb. Ground Beef
- 1 small onion diced
- 1-2 cups of BBQ Sauce (use as much as you like)
- 1/2 of a large red pepper diced
- 1/2 cup of chopped sweet potatoes (I used canned)
- 1 ear of corn
- 2 1/4 cups of Bisquick
- 2/3 cup of Milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Directions
- Preheat oven to 450°
- Add beef and onion to skillet and cook until done.
- Lower heat to simmer and mix in BBQ sauce, red pepper, sweet potato.
- Cut the corn off the ear of corn and add that to the mix.
- Mix Bisquick and milk in a bowl.
- Drop a spoonful of dough into a muffin tin. Repeat until you’ve used all the dough.
- Bake biscuits for about 2 minutes, then take out of oven and add a large spoonful of the meat mixture to each muffin tin on top of the biscuit dough. Press the spoon down making a little cup for the mix.
- Sprinkle cheese on top and bake for another 8-10 minutes.
Wouldn’t these look cute stacked on a cupcake stand at a party?
I had some leftover meat mixture so I found a box of cornbread in the pantry and make a pie! I like the biscuits the best. For the pie, I just poured the cornbread over the top of the meat and baked.
I used Country Bob’s Sauce. The folks at Country Bob’s sent me a bunch of sauce to test out and it’s really yummy. Sweet and tangy with a little spice. I’ve been using it on all sorts of things lately.
Anyone who leaves a comment on this post gets a chance to win some Country Bob’s Sauce to try themselves! One winner will be randomly picked and announced later this week.
I’m adding this to Julia’s “Hooked On” Party and the “Works for Me Wednesday” party. Be sure to visit those site for some great ideas and to add your link!!

I have never seen Country Bob’s Sauce~but perhaps that is because I have never noticed it before. You know how it is~when you get a green volkswagon, even though you swear you’ve never seen one before, it seems like every second car is now a green volkswagon!
My first time to your site today…although your name seems strangely familiar…hmmm…I’ll let you know if I figure out why!
Have a great day!

oh, yum! i’m back at school on the east coast, and i’m already missing real barbecue! because as everybody knows, only barbecue with beef is the real stuff. and country bobs looks like a delicious compliment to the meat.

A wife who invents and cooks up beef recipes late at night? A boon to all mankind!

Sounds good and easy. My sil used Country Bob’s
barbecue sauce and it was very good, so I use it now.
Really enjoy your blog.

The “pie” looks a lot like something my mom makes. Now I want some. Will definitely be trying both as soon as we get an oven.

Oh, my gosh, this looks sooo good to me right now. What a clever idea, Amy. And I’m thinking it would be fun to make a breakfast version with sausage, too.
I haven’t heard of this BBQ sauce. I’m always looking for good new sauces to try, though. Hope I win! (*crosses fingers*)

Oh that does look good! We do something similar, but not with bbq sauce and sweet potatoes! I will have to try it

Mmmmm, these look great! I can’t wait to try it out on my kids. I like the idea of using a muffin pan to make them as well, there is something appealing to mini bites! Never tried Country Bob’s but something tells me I’ll like it
