You know those restaurants that bring you a basket of warm, fresh biscuits to snack on while you wait for your meal? I always end up eating way too many and then I’m not hungry when my entree finally arrives. I decided to try my hand and see if I could make something similar at home. I think I found a winner! I have a recipe for Easy Cheesy Garlic Biscuits that rivals the restaurants’. Oh my are they good! Plus, they are so easy to make that they practically make themselves. Ok well not really, but they aren’t hard at all. There’s no rolling or kneading dough and they take only 8 minutes to bake in the oven. Next time I make these I’m going to double the recipe since they do not last long….
This recipe would also be appropriate to make in honour of National Garlic Day on April 19th. Yes, it’s really a food holiday. The biscuits have garlic powder mixed in the batter and fresh garlic on top. Yum!

Easy Cheesy Garlic Biscuits
These fluffy biscuits are the easiest! Made with garlic and cheddar biscuits just like Red Lobster with only 6 pantry staples. Yum!
Ingredients
- 2 cups of biscuit mix (I used Bisquick)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2/3 cup milk
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ cup butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- In a large bowl, stir together the biscuit mix, milk, cheese and garlic powder with a whisk. until it becomes a doughy mixture.
- Drop the dough in heaping spoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet. I made my biscuits quite big, but you could make the smaller (and make more of them) by using less dough for each one.
- Bake for 8 minutes (or until golden brown). In small bowl, mix together the melted butter and minced garlic. Brush the butter mixture on the top of each biscuit. Serve warm.

I love little drop biscuits like these with their crunchy edges. Garlic and cheese take them to another level. Pass the bread basket! Thanks for stopping in and linking.

I love the buns at Red Lobster and these look just like them. If they taste the same, they’ll be delicious !
