ingredients:
-
½ pound ground beef

2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

⅓ cup cooked chopped bacon
-
6-7 Tbps buttermilk
instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 400ºF.
-
In a skillet, cook and crumble ground beef until no longer pink; drain. In a bowl, combine biscuit mix, bacon and cheese; stir in cooked beef. Add buttermilk and toss with a fork until just moistened. Shape into 1-1/2-in. balls. (I used a medium cookie scoop) Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
-
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until puffed and golden brown. Cool on wire racks.
- Baked puffs may be frozen; reheat at 400 degrees F for 7-9 minutes or until heated through (they do not need to thawed first).

I think I'm going to add an onion to the ground beef when I brown it, since my whole family is addicted to onion. I'll let you know how it comes out.
Just made these for tailgating at a spring college football game. I of course had to taste test one before I take them…they aren't good…..they are SUPER GOOD!!!
I did double the batch and towards the end had to add just a little bit more buttermilk because the mixture wasn't holding together.
Sounds yummy! I'm so happy I found your blog on Ziplist.
Do you cook the bacon before mixing?
Tabitha – yes – the bacon should be cooked. I use a bag of Oscar Meyer bacon bits.
Always the best tailgate food here, Steph!
