Cheddar Bay BiscuitsYesterday was Ben's birthday.  In addition to the gift I bought him, I told him he could choose whatever he wanted for dinner...the dessert and all.  He came up with Pasta Fagioli and this Italian Pizzelle Ice Cream Sandwich for dessert.  Along side the main dish, he requested some biscuits I've posted before and called Cheesy Garlic Biscuits.

While making the biscuits, I realized I really needed to update the recipe and re-post them.  And, for ease of searching, I also decided that they needed to be renamed to the real title used by the popular restaurant chain known for these.

We love these biscuits and especially how easy they are to whip together.  It's not often that I'll use Bisquick, but it's the key here to baking these up in minutes.  And let me tell you, I'm all for a quick option that's THIS tasty!    🙂

    I have been making these regularly for many months now. If I ask what kind of bread my family would like, these biscuits are the answer. As others have said, these are a huge part of eating at Red Lobster. We live in a rural area and Red Lobster is a 30-mile drive!

    I just made these and they were so good. My husband says they are better than Red Lobster (though he may just be saying that). The only issue i had was they were a bit overcooked but I reduced the second batch by two minutes and they were perfect. Thank you for posting this.

    I just made these and they were so incredibly salty! Wayyyy too much garlic salt in the butter. Very good otherwise. 🙂

    I made these for supper tonight...they turned out great! Delicious! I made them in a muffin pan and they came right out. I didn't have garlic salt so I used 1/2 tsp. garlic powder and 1/2 tsp. Kosher salt. YUM!!!

    To protect your health, minimize prepared foods. This recipe is greatly improved with the following substitutions (explanation included)

    Substitute the 2 cups Bisquick mix with:

    2 cups unbleached white flour plus 4 teaspoons baking powder and 2 teaspoons baking soda (Bisquick mix includes additional preservatives and chemicals not needed by your body)

    Substitute 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder with:
    1 small fresh clove of garlic, finely chopped (dried garlic retains about 10% of the nutritional value of fresh garlic)

    1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar
    2/3 cup milk
    2 tbsp butter

    Substitute 1 tsp dried parsley with:
    1 teaspoon fresh chopped parsley (dried parsley retains 10% of the flavor)

    Substitute 1 tsp garlic salt with:
    Regular table salt and 1/2 teaspoon finely chopped garlic (add to melted butter)

    I made these last night and decided that even though they are delicious, they don't flake enough. Next time I will add some frozen chopped butter to the batter and see if it helps.

    1/2 tsp old bay seasoning really added to the dough makes these spectacular.

    I LOVED THESE! But does anyone know how to make them a bit more flaky instead of so soft? Mine were a bit doughy so I added more bisquick while stirring I'm not sure if that was key or not? I just want them to be a little less doughy

      Hi Kelsey, I believe they key is to not over-mix the dough. 🙂

    I don't have a brush for spreading the butter, what do u recommend I use? Also, how much do u drop on parchment paper? Like a table spoon or two? Sorry for all the questions, so want them to turn out perfect! Heehee!

      Hi Ellie, you could try using a paper towel to dunk in the melted butter then dab onto the dough. And, I think it's about 2 tablespoons or so. 🙂

    If I use Krusteaz instead of Bisquick will it still turn out okay?

    These are amazing and SO easy!!!! Just made them in about 2 minutes (plus cooking time of course). I will say that for someone like me who is not a salt person, I found the garlic salt in the butter topping was too much so I just switched it to garlic powder for the second batch. My friend who loves salt, not shockingly, preferred the garlic salt batch. Just depends on your taste! Thanks for posting!

    this recipe is excellent but its NOT garlic salt that you melt with the butter to spread on top of the rolls, its garlic POWDER....HUGE difference!!!

      Hi Anonymous,

      You might use garlic powder for the butter spread, but I use garlic salt as did the source where I found the recipe. There is garlic powder, though, in the dough. Maybe you got the two mixed up. I would agree there is a huge difference, but this must be where your taste preference comes in.

    I love the cheddar bay buscuits from RL! About a month ago I was craving some of these babies but I did not haveI have any bisquick. So I had to make them (you know how you get something in your head and it has to be made?), so I have a similar recipe on my blog except it does not use bisquick. Love these...I might just have to pick up a box!
