Cheddar Biscuits Recipe With a Twist: My Favorite Time-Saving Dinner Biscuit Hack Bread/Muffins Side Dishes Snacks Cooking Tips

I am not particularly comfortable hosting a dinner or holiday party, at least not the cooking part. I’d much rather plan the menu, grocery shop or – my favorite part – plan and execute the décor or theme. Baking, crafting and decorating you can do in advance. Cooking, however, takes place mostly all at once and the timing is so important, which tends to overwhelm me. So I look for cooking tips and hacks wherever I can. 

This is one of my favorite bread baking hacks ever. My family’s favorite biscuits are absolutely delicious. You might think they’re a treasured family recipe but in fact, they come from – wait for it – a box! They’re Red Lobster’s Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix and you can find it at a grocery store and some discount stores, too.

I highly recommend making this mix because the biscuits are delicious and also because you’ll save yourself some precious time. These biscuits make a wonderful side dish or snack for special occasions, holidays or anytime!
