These bacon cheddar biscuits are the perfect addition to your next meal. They are so savory with their combination of tangy cheese, crispy bacon, and fresh chives and topped off with a delicious, creamy butter and herb sauce, you won’t want to miss these simple homemade biscuits.
Bacon Cheddar Biscuits Ingredients
There’s something truly special about biting into a bacon cheddar biscuit.
The crispy outer layer yields a buttery, savory interior crammed full of small chunks of crispy bacon and tangy, slightly salty cheddar cheese.
It’s a flavor combination that hits all the right notes: the savory bacon adds depth, while the cheese gives a slightly sour, sharp kick to the overall flavor.
You’ll need:
For The Biscuits:
- 2¼ cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon of sugar
- 1 tablespoon of baking powder
- 1 tablespoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- ½ cup of unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon of minced fresh chives
- 1 cup of milk, 2%
- 1¾ cups of shredded medium cheddar cheese
- 10 slices cooked bacon, chopped
For The Topping:
- ¼ cup of unsalted butter, melted
- ½ tablespoon of minced fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon of dried parsley flakes
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
Substitutions And Additions
CHEESE: You can use your favorite type of cheese in place of the cheddar in these delicious biscuits. Some great options are provolone, Swiss, Colby jack, or Monterey jack. If you want to add a little spice, you could also try pepper jack.
BACON: You can make your own bacon and chop it yourself or use store-bought bacon bits instead in this cheddar biscuit recipe.
MILK: While 2% milk works best for these cheddar cheese biscuits, you could also use low-fat milk or whole milk.
How To Make This Bacon Cheddar Biscuits Recipe
These biscuits are as easy as making the batter, scooping them onto a baking sheet, and popping them in the oven. Smother them in butter and enjoy!
STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 425°F.
STEP TWO: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
STEP THREE: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt.
PRO TIP:
Use a sifter to get out any clumps in the flour and to aerate the ingredients.
STEP FOUR: Add the melted butter, chives, and milk to the dry ingredients. Stir well to mix.
OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS
When melting the butter in the microwave, remove it from the butter wrapper, place it in a small microwave bowl, and place a paper towel over the top of the bowl. This helps contain any butter splatter.
STEP FIVE: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and bacon pieces just until mixed.
STEP SIX: Using a large cookie scoop (¼ cup size), scoop out the biscuit dough onto the parchment paper making 12 biscuits about 1 inch apart.
STEP SEVEN: Bake for 15 to 17 minutes until the tops are lightly browned.
PRO TIP:
Oven temperatures vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate. Make sure to check your biscuits at the lower end of the recommended baking time.
STEP EIGHT: Using a small bowl mix all topping ingredients together and spoon evenly over the tops of each warm biscuit.
STEP NINE: Let the biscuits cool for about 10 minutes on the baking sheet before removing them as they’ll continue to bake a bit on the warm tray after you remove them from the oven.
STEP TEN: Serve these savory biscuits warm.
How To Serve
Enjoy these fluffy biscuits along with a warm bowl of soup on a cold day. Try our cheeseburger potato soup and lasagna soup for two tasty choices.
For a breakfast or brunch spread, consider adding eggs or a side of crispy hash browns.
For a heartier meal, try pairing your biscuits with a bowl of homemade chili or classic Southern-style comfort food like fried chicken.
Of course, you can never go wrong with a simple Caesar salad or roasted veggies to balance out the richness of the biscuits.
If you’re looking for another bread option to serve as an appetizer or dinner side, we have you covered. Our cheesy pull-apart bread and beer bread are two of the best bread recipes. Either would be the perfect solution.
Storing These Cheese Bacon Biscuits
You can easily keep these tasty biscuits in either the fridge or the freezer if you have leftovers to enjoy later. Here’s how.
IN THE FRIDGE: Store leftovers in an airtight container, then place in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
IN THE FREEZER: You can keep homemade bacon cheddar biscuits longer by freezing them. Place biscuits in a Ziploc freezer bag in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw on the countertop at room temperature and heat slightly in the oven before serving.
Whether you’re serving these bacon cheddar biscuits with a bowl of soup or adding them to your Thanksgiving dinner menu, they are sure to be a hit. Nothing beats a warm biscuit out of the oven and it’s so easy to make these delicious, homemade cheesy biscuits.
