Easy! Cheeseburger Cups

I have an idea for next time, but until then, these were super easy and yummy!  
(See notes for idea...)

Ingredients: 
- 8 refrigerated biscuits
- 1 lb. lean ground beef
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1 tsp. Worcestershire 
- 1 Tbsp. mustard
- 2 Tbsp. brown sugar
- 8 small slices of cheese (The pre-cut cheese squares {the ones that you pair with crackers} fit perfectly and were super easy to use!)
- Toppings of your choice


Directions:
Crumble and cook the beef in a skillet. Drain. Mix in ketchup, Worcestershire, mustard, and brown sugar. Grease a muffin tin, and line 8 cups with the refrigerated biscuits. Divide the meat mixture among the 8 cups, and bake at 400°F/204°C for 10-15 minutes, until the biscuit dough is brown. Top with cheese and bake an additional 5 minutes.

*Next time: The biscuits were a little "thick," so next time, I am going to slice them in half horizontally, which will then double the amount of cups.  Keep the same amount of meat needed, only instead of about 2 tablespoons of meat for each biscuit, use 1 so that you have enough meat for 16 biscuits!  Also, try ground turkey for a "leaner" meal!
