Instructions

5.Roll out the biscuit dough on a lightly floured surface, then cut out 10 jack-o'-lantern shapes using a pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter.
6.Place each biscuit shape onto a lightly greased baking sheet, then spoon the beef mixture onto the center of each biscuit.
7.Top each beef pie with a slice of cheese, then bake in the preheated oven for approximately 10-12 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
