In skillet over medium heat, sautée onions in olive oil until translucent and soft (3-5 minutes). Add in ground beef, together with salt and garlic, and cook until beef is no longer pink; remove from heat and drain.
Add in spaghetti sauce, Italian seasoning and Parmesan cheese and mix well.
Spray muffin tins with non-stick cooking spray. Split each biscuit in half along the flaky layers (so there is a top half and a bottom half). Take each half and flatten into a circle approximately 4-5 inches in diameter.
Press each circle into bottom and along sides of prepared muffin tin cups.
Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of beef mixture into the center of each cup.
Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes. Remove from oven.
To eat now:
Sprinkle tops of biscuit cups with shredded mozzarella cheese. Bake an additional 3-4 minutes until cheese has melted and is bubbly. Serve. (16 biscuit cups, 2 per serving)
To freeze for later:
Cool baked cups to room temperature. Do not add shredded cheese. Place biscuit cups on baking sheet and place sheet in freezer for one hour or overnight. Then transfer biscuit cups to labeled freezer bag and return to freezer until needed.
To prepare after freezing:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Defrost biscuit cups overnight in refrigerator (or cook directly from frozen). Place biscuit cups on baking sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes (or longer if baking from frozen) until heated through. Remove from oven, sprinkle tops with shredded mozzarella cheese, and bake an additional 3-4 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve.
