Cheddar bay biscuits?

Just a lil bit ago, I was watching Cooking With Jack ( Jack on the Go). He showed the making of this mix Red Lobster sells to make their cheddar bay biscuits with added cheddar. Looked pretty good, fine. Then I thought about Todd Wilbur's version I tried from his first book or two ( Restaurant Secrets). So I was reading the comments, & this person that works there says they're made with Bisquick, shredded cheddar & water. Then top with melted butter to which parsley, garlic & Italian seasoning have been added. I figured it had to be something simple & quick to assemble on the go. I'll be giving it a try soon, just thought I'd pass it on...

The mix is fantastic. I usually pick it up every time I grocery shop.

Word, man! I love those with a plate of seafood. I can scarf the heck outta those!

I also like some Parmesan cheese in the biscuit mix... I make these all the time and feel it adds a little something.

Bisquick, cheddar, parmesan, water. Brush on the butter/herb/spice mix when they're done cooking.

Good stuff, never tried the RL branded mix.

Or maybe some smoked sharp cheddar from Heini's in Berlin...I love Amish cheese from that place.

We've bought those packets of mix a long time back and they are awesome! So quick and easy.

Never made the bisquick version, but I do have Bisquick at home...

It's so stupid easy... go for it. They really do taste pretty close to the real thing. If you use old bay for the seasoning mix in the butter (instead of parsley), they are spot on.

Hm, that sounds interesting, Old Bay, garlic & Italian seasoning. Logical with seafood. Get out on the piers & catch some perch & white bass to go with'em, breaded of course.

We went to a friend's house for dinner recently. She made them with bleu cheese. Yum.

Isn't all cheese spoilt milk?

I'm usually not a fan of pungent cheeses like bleu, but it really worked well in the biscuits. I was pleasantly surprised.
