Growing up, if my parents were to go to Red Lobster, it was a treat. As a child, though, I would say "yuck!" because I couldn't even stand the smell of seafood. To this day, I'm still not the biggest fan of seafood, but I'm finding that it's because I grew up in an area (Michigan) where seafood is not fresh and at it's best. I know this, because I married a seafood loving man from the east coast who knows everything. 😉
Well, this seafood loving man of mine does not like Red Lobster. I'd say he's a food snob, but really, he's not. He just doesn't like Red Lobster, which is fine with me, because I still don't prefer to eat seafood.
However... about a year ago I finally went to Red Lobster for lunch with some co-workers and they introduced me to the Cheddar Bay Biscuits. Holy cow! I could've eaten just those as my entire meal. They were incredibly tasty.
Well, I knew it would be my first and my last experience of enjoying those biscuits, unless I was able to sneak out to Red Lobster with my coworkers again. But, wait! Why can't I just make them myself? What a great idea! So, I searched the internet and found a fabulous copycat recipe, called Cheesy Garlic Biscuits.
The biscuits are so ridiculously close to the Cheddar Bay Biscuits at Red Lobster. This recipe I found called for Oregano, but I'm pretty sure Red Lobster uses parsley flakes instead, so I substituted parsley and it worked out perfectly!
I didn't count, but I think it makes around 15 biscuits.

Mmm, I tried making these for Thanksgiving except I made my own biscuit dough instead of using bisquick. Yours look way better than mine, maybe I'll go with the bisquick next time after all!

These look awesome. The biscuits are the only reason why I will even walk into a red lobster.

These look amazing. And I'm pretty sure I'll have my husband wrapped around my finger if I can make biscuits that taste like Red Lobster - haha!

Oh thank you so much for this recipe!!! The cheesy biscuits are my favorite thing at Red Lobster (I love seafood but don't go to RL often). I can't wait to make these.

I am sort of like that... I don't love Red Lobster, but I LOVE these biscuits. It will be great to make them at home sometime.
