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 some cheddar bay biscuits. You know, the mind-boggling delicious ones at Red Lobster? Which on top of being yummy are also complimentary!
But if you’re wanting to enjoy these at home, this is the recipe for you. It’s pretty easy, still no 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!
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 flavor! 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 about roughly 1/4 a cup of the mixture onto a cookie 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 awhile 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!

August 16, 2015 at 6:29 AMHi 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.

August 16, 2015 at 1:13 PMThat’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!

August 16, 2015 at 1:15 PMYou 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?

August 20, 2015 at 10:41 AMHi 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!

November 5, 2015 at 10:27 AMThese 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?!

November 8, 2015 at 3:44 PMWhat’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!

March 12, 2016 at 9:23 PMJust 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.

March 20, 2016 at 5:11 PMThat’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 😉
