This easy biscuit recipe for Cheddar Bay Biscuits is absolutely out of this world! A copycat recipe from the amazing Red Lobster cheese biscuits.
Red Lobster Biscuits with Bisquick
If you’ve ever paid a visit to your local Red Lobster than odds are you’ve had their soft, warm, cheesy biscuits. I’m not the biggest fan of Red Lobster but those biscuits – those cheesy, soft biscuits!! – are such a guilty pleasure that I have to go every once in a blue moon just for the biscuits.
Hot out of the oven, soft on the inside with crispy edges and fantastic cheddar flavor, these cheese biscuits with Bisquick have been made over and over in my kitchen. They’re a great accompaniment to soup or a salad. I’ve even made them just for a treat! It’s such an easy biscuit recipe since they can be mixed up in no time and only take about 15 minutes to bake. Leftovers are great, too, and I’ve made a mean breakfast sandwich with them.
