Bacon Cheddar Biscuits

There won't be many times that you'll find a genuine recipe that came from my own little mind. More often I alter recipes to fit my taste and/or budget. This time, however, it's my recipe. I took two ideas and combine them.


You know those soft, airy biscuits at Red Lobster? Good, right? Ever had a bacon cheddar and onion biscuit? Yeah, they are good, too. Welcome to Aunt B's Bacon Cheddar Biscuit. Here we go...

3 c. flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 sticks butter
1 c. cheese
6 slice cooked and crumbled bacon
2 c. milk

You will want to start your bacon cooking. Cook it well so that it just crumbles as soon as you touch it. Yes, almost burnt. In a large mixing bowl add your flour, baking powder and cold butter. You will cut the butter into the flour with a pastry cutter. If you don't have a pastry cutter, use two knives to chop the butter into tiny pieces.

Next add in your cheese and bacon bits. I know the title is Bacon CHEDDAR Biscuits, but just use whatever you have in the fridge. For the batch pictured, I used Colby Jack Cheese. Stir well with a big spoon.

Pour in just one cup of milk to start with, stir as best as you can. Add in the remaining milk and stir well. Your dough will be very sticky, but it's ok. We aren't going to roll out this dough or cut it, simply use two spoons to drop dough balls onto your cookie sheet. My drops are about 3 inches in diameter. This will make a huge biscuit, about the size of your hand. If you want your recipe to go farther, or feed more people, simply make smaller biscuits!

Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes, depending on the size of your biscuit. There you have it, Bacon Cheddar Biscuits! Enjoy!
