Cheddar Bay Biscuits

I don’t know if these are the ‘real’ Cheddar Bay Biscuits that are at Red Lobster, but they’re damn close. I received this recipe from a friend many years ago.

Approx 10 Biscuits

Ingredients

2 cups bisquick
2/3 cup milk
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/8 tsp garlic powder (for mix)
1/4 tsp garlic powder (for butter)

Directions

Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees f. Mix bisquick, milk, cheese, and garlic powder until soft dough forms. Drop the dough by spoonfulls onto an ungreased cooking sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes until golden brown.

Melt butter and add garlic powder. Brush mixture over the warm biscuits before removing from the cookie sheet.

Sausage Gravy

This is the basic recipe for Sausage Gravy.  Obviously a breakfast item, it’s great over biscuits, chicken fried steak and eggs, and anything else breakfast related.  Here’s the way I like it.  Homemade biscuits, sausage gravy, and eggs…over easy.  That is a beautiful thing.

Yields 5 cups

Ingredients

1 lb breakfast sausage
3/4 cup flour
3 cups milk
salt
pepper

Directions
Cook sausage in a large heavy bottom skillet over medium heat until browned.  Sprinkle the flour evenly over the sausage and combine until the flour has disolved into the sausage crumbles.  Increase the heat to medium high, and gradually add the milk, stiring constantly until the gravy becomes thick and bubbly.  Season with salt and pepper to taste.
