Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cans refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch round baking pan or cast-iron skillet with non-stick cooking spray.
- Open the refrigerated biscuit cans and separate each biscuit. Cut each biscuit into quarters to create bite-sized pieces.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the quartered biscuit pieces with shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon. Gently toss to distribute ingredients evenly.
- In a separate small bowl, mix melted butter with garlic powder until well combined.
- Pour the butter and garlic mixture over the biscuit pieces. Use a spatula or your hands to ensure all pieces are lightly coated.
- Transfer the coated biscuit mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading them out in a somewhat even layer.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the top for added flavor and color.
- Serve warm directly from the pan, allowing guests to pull apart the cheesy, bacon-filled biscuits.
Tips
- Make sure your bacon is crispy and well-crumbled to distribute flavor evenly throughout the dish.
- Use fresh, cold refrigerated biscuit dough for the best texture and rise.
- Don't overmix when combining ingredients – gently toss to keep the biscuit pieces light and fluffy.
- For extra flavor, experiment with different cheese varieties like sharp cheddar or pepper jack.
- Let the pull aparts cool for just 5 minutes before serving to maintain the perfect melty cheese consistency.
- If you want a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the butter mixture.
- Use a cast-iron skillet for an even more rustic presentation and extra crispy edges.
- Serve immediately for the best taste and texture – these are best enjoyed fresh from the oven!
