Best 5 Quick Bacon Cheddar Biscuits Recipes

BACON-CHEDDAR BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Let cool enough to handle; crumble.
• Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl and cut in shortening until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add buttermilk and stir just enough to form a ball. Fold in crumbled bacon and Cheddar cheese.
• Drop heaping tablespoonfuls on an ungreased baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve immediately.

CHEDDAR AND BACON BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat with vegetable oil.
• Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender, or use 2 knives, until the butter is the size of peas; stir in the cheese and bacon.
• Combine the buttermilk and egg in a small bowl. Add to the flour mixture just until incorporated. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and pat or roll the dough to 3/4-inch thickness; cut with a 3-inch round cutter, and place on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until golden brown.

BACON-CHEDDAR BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, pepper, baking powder, and baking soda for 30 seconds. Toss butter into dry mixture to evenly coat, then press between your fingers to create flower-petal shapes and return to bowl. Stir in bacon and cheddar.
• Slowly drizzle buttermilk over flour-butter mixture (to evenly distribute) while stirring with a fork. Stop stirring when dough begins to form but mixture is still crumbly. Transfer to center of a parchment-lined baking sheet. Gather dough with your hands, pressing firmly to bind, and flatten it into a 6-by-10-inch rectangle. Lift parchment along a short end of dough and fold in half, forming a 6-by-5-inch rectangle. Turn dough 90 degrees; gently reflatten to 6 by 10 inches. Fold in half again and flatten slightly into a 6-inch square.
• To keep things easy, form the dough on the same tray it's baked on. Cut it into thirds in both directions with a large, sharp knife, to form 9 biscuits. Brush tops with buttermilk. Bake until puffed, golden brown on top, and hollow-sounding when tapped on bottom, 16 to 18 minutes. Transfer to a kitchen towel-lined basket; cover to keep warm. Serve with butter and a fried egg.

QUICK CHEDDAR GARLIC BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Mix biscuit mix, Cheddar cheese, and milk together in a bowl using a wooden spoon until batter is soft and doughy, 30 seconds. Drop spoonfuls of batter onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until biscuits are lightly browned and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Heat butter and garlic powder in a saucepan over low heat until melted, about 5 minutes. Brush garlic butter over cooked biscuits.

CHEESY BACON PULL-APART BISCUITS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. In 9-inch cast-iron skillet, cook bacon until crisp; drain on paper towels. Crumble bacon; set aside. Reserve 2 tablespoons bacon drippings in skillet, coating bottom and side completely. Discard any remaining drippings.
• In large bowl, stir Bisquick mix, milk, 1/4 cup of the onions, the garlic powder and red pepper until soft dough forms. On surface sprinkled with additional Bisquick mix, pat dough to 1-inch thickness. Cut dough with 2 1/2-inch round cutter. Arrange rounds in skillet; sprinkle 3/4 cup of the Cheddar cheese evenly between rounds.
• Bake 15 to 17 minutes or until lightly browned. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese and remaining 3/4 cup Cheddar cheese on tops of biscuits. Bake 2 to 4 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with bacon and remaining 2 tablespoons onions. Serve warm.
