Spicy Texas Ranch Biscuit Cups

After all these sweet cupcake recipes, I think it’s about time for something savory! And, this my friends is the bomb.com. Ridiculously easy to do and so fast! Basically, this Spicy Texas Ranch Filled Biscuit is a store bought biscuit dough that is pressed into a jumbo muffin tin and filled with ranch dressing, blue cheese, chicken nuggets {tossed in hot sauce and butter} and then topped with more ranch dressing, blue cheese and shredded mozzarella and cheddar for good measure. Of course it wouldn’t be complete without some nice fresh cilantro on top! A girl needs her vegetables! {HA!}

This makes for a great football or party food and if you have kids you’re feeding {or husbands who can’t take the heat}, you can adjust the heat level to them as well {same goes for the blue cheese}. I think blue cheese and hot wings…or in this case spicy chicken nuggets…..go together very well. If you are unsure of the whole thing than just add a little amount of both and work from there. 1/4 cup of hot sauce is pretty spicy, so I’d recommend starting with half the amount.

Other then those few notes, you are good to go! Very simple ingredients for this one! Perfect for a lazy weekend! I’ll be busy the next two days running, cooking and teaching Sunday School, but you all normal folk should have a relaxing two days off and give these a whirl! They’re mighty tasty! TGIF! 🙂
