Lasagna Pizza Cups

1/2 lb lean ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (15 ounce) jar pizza sauce
1 (7.5 oz) can refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
1/2 c ricotta cheese
3/4 c shredded moz cheese

Preheat oven to 375. Cook first 3 ingred. in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes or until meat crumbles and is no longer pink. Drain well. Return meat mixture to skillet; stir in 1 c pizza sauce. Remove from heat.

Press biscuits on bottom and up sides of lightly greased muffin cups. Spoon about 1 rounded Tablespoon meat mixture into each biscuit cup; top with ricotta cheese (about 1 heaping teaspoonful each). Sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 375 for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven, and gently run a knife around outer edge of pizza cups to loosen from sides of pan. Remove cups from pan, using a spoon. Place remaining pizze sauce in a small microwave safe glass bowl; cover with plastic wrap. Microwave on HIGH for 30-45 seconds or until thoroughly heated. Serve pizza cups with warm sauce. (used for biscuits was Pillsbury Buttermilk Biscuits and Ragu Homemade Style Pizza Sauce)
