Fill with leftover anything really, or make up something specifically to put in cups. A few ideas:

*Alfredo: brush biscuit with garlic butter. Fill with leftover chicken and broccoli alfredo
*Pizza: fill with cheese, sauce, pepperoni, and olives
*Taco: fill with leftover taco meat and cheese and serve topped w/ sour cream, salsa, and lettuce. Or, add refried beans or enchilada sauce.
*Chili cups: fill with chili. Add hot dogs if you want
*Macaroni cups: add bacon or hot dogs to the macaroni

You could do a lot with this, and make it as easy and inexpensive as you want to. Great way to get rid of leftovers

1 cup warm water or chicken broth

Pizza Biscuits

Frozen biscuits
Pizza Sauce (or bbq sauce, or alfredo sauce… or whatever sauce you want)
Cheese
Pepperoni (or whatever toppings you choose)

Preheat oven according to biscuit can.

Flatten biscuits into mini pizza crusts

Put sauce, toppings, and cheese on top.

Bake 20 minutes (or until cheese is melted and biscuits are done and browned)


(Another version of this is to make breakfast pizzas, using eggs and sausage or bacon. Be creative: make mini bbq chicken pizzas, or maybe do something fancy with alfredo sauce and olives and artichokes and chicken with feta cheese….Mexican pizzas, using enchilada sauce, pepper jack, and taco meat… topped with lettuce and sour cream… the possibilities are endless and it’s a fairly inexpensive meal. If you have children, make it a family activity.. provide several toppings and let everyone design their own pizzas!!! Also a great snack for parties!)
