Enjoy the famous Red Lobster cheddar bay biscuits at home with a few simple ingredients and ready in under 30 minutes.

Enjoy some Red Lobster cheddar bay biscuits at home. With a few simple ingredients and ready in under 30 minutes.

So last week I made some garlic knots which was tons of fun. I figured I might as well get all the baked goods out of the way, so today we’ll be making a copycat recipe of the famous Red Lobster cheddar bay biscuits. You know, the mind-boggling delicious ones at Red Lobster? Which on top of being yummy are also complimentary!

If you’re wanting to enjoy a batch of freshly baked cheddar Bay biscuits at home, this is the recipe for you. It’s pretty easy and doesn’t require any yeast needed, so I guess you could call it a cheat. There’s lots of cheddar cheese and some Old Bay seasoning to top some garlicky goodness. Best of all, it needs just a few simple ingredients and doesn’t take too much time at all. So let’s start making some cheddar biscuits!

CHEDDAR BAY BISCUITS RECIPE TIPS

We begin by mixing some Bisquick with some cold butter using your hands or a fork. I used my hands and ended up cutting the butter up into little cubes and squishing them into the dough with my fingers. You should end up with a course flour mix after.

Then we add some milk, cheese, garlic powder and some Old Bay seasoning. Lots of flavors! I used my hands at first to mix it but quickly regretted this decision. It stuck to my fingers so bad. I’m positive I wasted about 1/8 a biscuit on my hands! So I quickly switched to a spoon and that worked out fine.

Mix, mix, mix and then spoon roughly 1/4 a cup of the mixture onto a baking sheet. I ended up with 12 of them. Space them far apart from each other because they will expand when baked.

Baking should take between 10-13 minutes but it may vary with your oven. So just keep an eye on them around the 10-minute mark and keep at it until they are a light golden brown.

Once they’re out of the oven, brush on the melted butter mixture and that’s it. So easy. So simple. So delicious. Let it sit for a while to cool down and firm up. They’ll be a little squishy coming fresh out of the oven.

Eat slow, be sure to chew. I know how delicious they can be but don’t be like me. I practically inhaled one. And don’t forget to have fun eating them!

    Just made these, and they were fantastic! I love these mix-plop-bake recipes, like the on-the-go breakfast muffins, because they are so easy to whip up for a potluck.

      That’s great to hear, Lin! Thanks for trying out this recipe and the on-the-go muffins (if you did that too). Another easy mix-plop-bake recipe would be mashed potato puffs. That’s what I bring to potlucks cause I’m super lazy like that 😉

    These are seriously my favorite. Though I usually just buy the box of Red Lobster mix and call it good. What kind of lazy blogger am I?!

      What’s funny is I didn’t even know the mix existed till I posted this. Then I stumbled across a whole end aisle of them in the grocery store and couldn’t decide if I should be laughed at or not!

    Hi Farah! These would not last long in our house!! A few years ago I came up with a recipe for cheese biscuits (actually mini cheesy muffins) at my son’s request. I’ll have to pass this along to him – they won’t last long at his house either!

    Loved them! Made them for Sunday brunch with some baked eggs. Easy and tasty! They were ready to go on the oven by the time it was warned up. Very decadent. kel

    These look great! I can never find garlic powder anywhere in the UK.

      You can sub in some fresh garlic, just make sure to mince them super fine, Cate! Also, quick Google showed me some in Tesco if you have any near you?

    Hi Farah,
    After calling in Martha Stewart’s help for the buttermilk biscuits dough, I made the knots, yummy, yummy.
    I did extra thin slices of garlic and a green onion, before the knotting.
    Next time I take the shallots, but they were great.
    I will absolutely make the cheddar bay ones as well and know they will be as delicious as the knots.

      That’s great it worked out for you. Congrats on making the dough from scratch and I’m sorry I couldn’t be more help in that department (still avoiding it as hard as I can). Good luck with the cheddar bay biscuits!
