Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).

- Bake to Perfection: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuit cups are golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the biscuit cups from the oven and let them cool slightly. Sprinkle the freshly chopped green onions over the tops as a final garnish. Serve the BBQ Bacon Mac & Cheese Stuffed Biscuit Cups warm and enjoy!
