#668: Bacon Cheeseburger Puffs


I made this recipe for my monthly book club group and this was a last minute, I-need-something-quick, kind of recipe.  Personally I really, really enjoyed these, however they were a tad dry so I think they would have been better with some sort of sauce to dip in or something drizzled right on top of each one. Pizza sauce maybe??  I don't know....Regardless, yes I would make these again. They surely aren't my favorite thing, but they were good (not great, but good).

1/2 pound ground beef
1 1/2 cups biscuit/baking mix
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
3 oz bacon pieces
6-7 Tbsp buttermilk

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  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).
