Ingredients with Measurements:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 count)
Special Equipment Needed:
- Non-stick skillet

Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. In a non-stick skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned and cooked through.
3. Drain any excess fat from the skillet and add the BBQ sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
4. Remove the skillet from the heat and set aside.
5. Open the can of biscuit dough and separate each biscuit into two halves.
6. Flatten each half of the biscuit dough with your hands or a rolling pin to form a circle.
7. Place a spoonful of the BBQ beef mixture onto one half of each flattened biscuit dough circle.

9. Repeat with the remaining biscuit dough and beef mixture.
10. Place the sealed BBQ beef buns onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
11. Use a pastry brush to brush the tops of the buns with any remaining BBQ sauce.
12. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuit dough is golden brown and cooked through.
