Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 3 tablespoons chopped onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/3 cup chili sauce or ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
  • 2 cups hot mashed potatoes (with added milk and butter)
  • 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tube (12 ounces) refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
  • 1/2 cup crushed potato chips
  • Paprika, optional

Directions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375°. In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until beef is no longer pink, 5-7 minutes, breaking up beef into crumbles. Add garlic; cook 1 minute or until tender. Drain. Stir in chili sauce and vinegar.
  • 2. In a small bowl, mix mashed potatoes and cream cheese until blended. Press 1 biscuit onto bottom and up sides of each of 10 greased muffin cups. Fill with beef mixture. Spread potato mixture over tops. Sprinkle with potato chips, pressing down lightly.
  • 3. Bake until golden brown, 20-25 minutes. If desired, sprinkle with paprika.
