How cute! Marge Free of Brandon, Mississippi carved these clever pumpkin pastries to feed her hungry bunch at Halloween. The ground beef filling has a hint of onion and mustard.

  • 8 Servings
  • Prep: 30 min. Bake: 10 min.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
  • 4 ounces mozzarella cheese, cubed
  • 1/4 cup prepared mustard
  • 2 tubes (16.3 ounces each) large refrigerated flaky biscuits
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten

Directions

  • In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add cheese and mustard; cook and stir until cheese is melted. Cool slightly.
  • Flatten each biscuit into a 4-in. circle; place four biscuits in each of two greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pans. Spoon 2 heaping tablespoons of meat mixture onto each.
  • Using a sharp knife or cookie cutters, cut out jack-o'-lantern faces from remaining biscuit circles; place over meat mixture and pinch edges to seal tightly. Reroll scraps if desired and cut out stems for pumpkins.
  • Brush with egg. Bake at 350° for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Yield: 8 servings.

I made these and got great reviews from my mom and sister. We had squash soup and the extra biscuit around the edges was perfect for dunking. The meat filling is simple, yet tasty.

I use thee large, holiday appropriate cookie cutters for my "face." Saves time. Also, is really good with taco filling or sloppy joes. I have done both.

I made these the other night for an upcoming Halloween Party. It can be time consuming cutting the face out with the knife - I did not use mustard, instead I used barbecue sauce and a little teriyaki marinade to enhance the flavor - very good - even better re-heated the next day. Would also recommend using smaller biscuits for younger children. This is a very delicious and kid friendly food item.
