1 (8 ounce) can refrigerated biscuits
1 Tbsp. oil
1 cup white onion, chopped or 1 tsp. onion powder
1 pound ground beef
2 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. paprika
to taste, salt and pepper
1 cup Cookies BBQ sauce
1 (8 ounce) block block Velveeta, cut into cubes
Optional toppings: pickles, additional barbecue sauce, green onions, cilantro
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Lightly coat a 10-inch cast iron skillet (or oven-safe skillet) with oil. Press biscuits into the bottom of the skillet, flattening and pinching them together to form a crust. Bake until the biscuits begin to set and are lightly puffed up, 8–10 minutes.
While crust is baking, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté until soft and transluscent,5 minutes. Add ground beef and crumble until cooked through, 5–8 minutes. Drain any rendered fat, if necessary. Season with garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper.
Remove crust from oven and top with barbecue sauce. Add ground beef and top with cheese cubes. Return the skillet to the oven and bake until the cheese has melted and the crust is fully cooked, 10–15 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Top as desired.
