This Copycat Recipe Is Going To Knock Your Socks Off
Lately I’ve been trying to pay attention to how and where I spend my money. I’m saving for a dream vacation and that means I really have to be careful with the stuff I’m paying extra for, without even realizing it. Eating out is definitely one of those things! I’m not saying you should never eat out – I certainly still do, when I don’t feel like cooking or I just want to have a fun evening with friends. But now that I have a plan, I would rather set that money aside.
There are some dishes I have really missed during this time! And that’s why I’ve been trying to search for copycat recipes, to make them at home. Here’s one I immediately fell in love with; these cheddar bay biscuits are even more delicious than the ones they serve at Red Lobster – and you can make them for half the price!

You can make your own Bisquick if you don’t happen to have it at hand!

Combine 2c all-purpose flour, 3tsp baking powder and 1tsp salt, then cut in 2Tbsp shortening with a pastry blender or fork. I don’t use Bisquick very often so whenever I buy some for a recipe, the rest will go bad before I use it again. So I usually make this mixture instead, it works great! Plus, I think it’s another great way to save money on groceries!

Ingredients

Biscuits:

• 2 1/2 cups Bisquick
• 4 Tablespoons cold Land O’ Lakes butter
• 1 cup Kraft cheddar cheese, shredded
• 3/4 cup McArthur milk
• 1/4 tsp McCormick garlic powder

Butter Glaze:

• 3 Tablespoons butter
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 3/4 teaspoon dried parsley flakes

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 400 F. Lightly spray a cookie sheet with nonstick spray, and set aside.

Combine Bisquick with cold butter in a medium bowl with a pastry cutter or a fork, until you only see small chunks of butter in the mix about the size of peas. Add cheddar cheese, milk, and garlic powder. Don’t over mix.

Drop 1/4 cup portions of the dough onto the prepared cookie sheet. Bake for 11-13 minutes or until the tops of the biscuits begin to turn light brown.

While the biscuits are baking, melt butter is a small bowl in the microwave. Stir in garlic powder and dried parsley flakes.

After biscuits have come out of the oven, brush the garlic butter over the tops of all the biscuits. Sprinkle a little kosher salt on the freshly coated biscuits.
