Ingredients
ground beef
1 lb (ground)
bacon
6 slices (diced)
onion
1/2 cup (chopped)
Velveeta cheese
8 ounces (cubed)
large refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
1 package (16.3 ounces) (unopened)
ketchup
1/2 cup (as sauce)
yellow mustard
1/4 cup (as sauce)
Instructions
1
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, diced bacon, and chopped onion until the meat is browned and no longer pink, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
2
Add the cubed Velveeta cheese to the skillet and stir until the cheese is melted and well combined with the meat mixture. Remove the skillet from heat.
3
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). On a clean surface, flatten each refrigerated buttermilk biscuit into a 5-inch round disc.
4
Spoon about 1/3 cup of the beef and cheese mixture into the center of each biscuit circle. Fold the sides and ends of the biscuit over the filling, then roll it up so that the seam is on the bottom. Place the roll-ups seam side down on a greased baking sheet.
5
Bake the roll-ups for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
6
In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup and yellow mustard for a dipping sauce. Serve warm with the roll-ups.
