Ingredients

For the Muffin Cups:

Instructions

  • Brown 1 lb of ground beef and drain.
  • Add ground beef and 1 cup of sugar-free bbq sauce to skillet. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes then remove from heat.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees and grease a muffin pan. (I used parchment paper squares in the muffin tins to prevent sticking.) If you don't use parchment paper squares make sure to grease the muffin tins generously as coconut flour tends to be sticky. 
  • Combine melted butter (I cool mine by popping the bowl in the fridge for 5 min), eggs, salt, and sour cream then whisk together.
  • Add coconut flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt to the mixture.
  • Stir in cheese.
  • Spoon into muffin tins.
  • Then, spray fingers with cooking spray. Pat the batter around the sides of muffin tins to form a cup.
  • Spoon 2 tablespoons of the BBQ meat mixture in the center of each muffin.
  • Sprinkle the grated cheese on top.
  • Bake for 15 minutes.

Notes

The nutritional information was calculated using my homemade sugar-free low carb bbq sauce recipe. The sugar alcohols in the Monkfruit Golden are not included as most subtract to calculate net carbs.
 

HOW TO STORE THESE MADE FROM SCRATCH BEEF CUPS

Store these beef cups in the fridge once baked. They should be good for 2-3 days after making them as long as you keep them in an airtight container. You can also freeze them for later by putting them in a freezer-safe container for later as well.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH THESE FARMHOUSE BBQ MUFFIN CUPS

Any type of side dish would go well with these simple hamburger muffins, but here are some of my favorite side dish choices. 
  • Southern Green Beans
  • Fresh Roasted Green Beans
  • Roasted Asparagus
  • Leafy Garden Salad
  • Roasted Broccoli
  • Sauteed Zucchini & Squash
