An old family tradition of mine is to make biscuit cups for family gatherings. My Aunt has traditional made them, and I finally got her recipe and laughed when I saw it – it’s so easy! I figured that she slaved over the stove all day, making all these ingredients by hand. Nope. Her Italian biscuit cups recipe has just four store-bought ingredients!

Notes about Italian Biscuit Cups Recipes

My aunt made her biscuit cups with a ton of different things. Try adding onions, mushrooms, or other veggies to the mix. Instead of meat you can add chicken or turkey, or make them completely vegetarian. You can add sausage and scrambled eggs and make them a great breakfast. You can even make them as a dessert by mixing cream cheese with nuts, sugar and cinnamon and putting those in the cups. They really can be done in any number of ways.
