BREADS: Cheese Garlic Biscuits
(similar to Red Lobster's)
Cheese Garlic Biscuits
2 cups Bisquik (can use low fat)
2/3 cup milk
1/2 cup cheddar cheese (I use a little more)
1/4 cup oleo, melted
1/4 teas. garlic powder
1/8 teas. parsley (I just a little more)
Mix Bisquik, milk and cheese together. Drop by spoonsful on baking dish. (I make them about the size of a large egg or so) Bake @ 450degrees for 8-10 minutes.
Combine oleo, garlic and parsley. Brush over baked biscuits.
I double this if I'm feeding 6 or 8. Triple it for a dozen or so. They go pretty fast.
