I posted about these amazingly delicious biscuits in September, but the post isn’t very complete, I didn’t give you my actual recipe, and the picture is somewhat lacking. So I decided to take pictures when I made them last weekend and give you a play-by-play with photos.
So here’s the copycat recipe for Cheddar Bay Biscuits (I think that’s what they’re called at Red Lobster, yes?)
(One note, I doubled the recipe, so the pictures show twice as much stuff as what I’m telling you.)
Set your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a cooking sheet with nonstick spray.
Dump into a bowl: 2 cups of buttermilk biscuit mix (like Bisquick or Jiffy mix), 1/2 a teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 to 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese.
Stir everything together.
Pour in about 2/3 cups of milk. Stir until combined.
It gets pretty thick, and you can add a little more milk if you need to. But don’t add too much, otherwise it’ll get really sticky. See how my spoon is standing up straight by itself? I decided it would be easier to doff my rings…
And get my hands a little dirty. Hey… it works. And my hands were clean, I promise.
OK, now wash your hands and use the two-spoon method to drop lumps of the dough onto your cookie sheet.
Don’t they look nice, all lined up ready to be baked?
Stick them in the oven and set the timer to 10 minutes. Now, melt 2 Tablespoons of butter and stir in 2 teaspoons of oregano and 1 teaspoon of garlic salt.
When the timer goes off (10 minutes, remember?) brush some of the butter mixture over each biscuit. Then, pop them back into the oven for another 5-6 minutes.
Or until they’re lightly browned. If you’d like, you can brush them with the garlic-herb butter again and let it soak in before you serve them.
If you’re having people over, you’d better double the recipe. These will get snatched up like hotcakes. Or, you know, like… cheesy garlic biscuits.

it says at the top to set to 400 degrees Fahrenheit
Stumbled on this. Really like your pictures and comments. Very helpful to the reader. BUT – never take your rings off and leave them on the counter! Put them on a chain around your neck instead. You’ll loose them, like my grandmother did hers, and you will rue it! :>)
Loved the recipe!!
[...] cheese biscuits. So I looked that up online and added a ton of cheese and garlic to them. Though this recipe just starts with basic biscuit dough, I adapted it to my angel biscuits. [...]
I stumbled across this site recently while looking for a paleo-friendly granola bar recipie for hiking, Like you I am a military wife and a bit obsessed with raising a family the way nature intended. These look delicious, but I am a bit concerned about using bisquick because of the terribly high trans fat levels… 4.5 grams trans fat per cup
have you ever added just a bit of ranch dressing into it when mixing.WOW
If you use crushed oregano leaves, use the amount suggested. If you use ground oregano, use half. crushed leaves are great and look great!
too salty, try 1/2 tsp of salt and 1 tsp oregano.
OMG!!!!! THERE SOOOOO GOOD!!!!
I always use ranch seasoning mix with my butter when I make these!
I just made these tonight and they came out great! Like some of the other posters mentioned, I used parley instead of oregano in my butter mix and they came out soooo yummy. Thanks for sharing!
Creatividual recently posted..Hey!
I’ve made a similar recipe, but it calls for parsley instead of oregano. The “Red Lobster” biscuits do not have oregano.
I made these tonight but my buttery topping was almost black due to the 2tsps of oregano. I wish I had left it out completely. I think the butter and garlic salt alone would have been delicious. Otherwise very good!
Wow! Wait until I try these for my mom and dad. I think these were my best memory of Red Lobster in the 90′s.

Wonderful recipe! Thank you so, so much for posting. My fiance and his friends loved these.
I would advise greasing your cookie sheet with some Pam or equivalent spray. These will stick a bit.
Family loved them….thank you!
Absolutely wonderful!!!
I used a small ice cream scoop that has that metal thingy that goes around the edge when you press the lever to form them and didn’t have any problem at all shaping them.
Hi, I have used your recipe 1/2 dozen times. Absolutely perfect. Thans for sharing. They r delicious. For those of you out of the country , u can search online for a Bisquick recipe. Ok here it is:
10 cups flour
1/3 cup baking powder
1/4 sugar
4 tsp salt
2cups shortening
Combine all ingredients in a bowl except shortening. With pastry blender cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Use as you for baking mix. Enjoy!

This recipe looks mouth watering. The garlic cheesy biscuits seem to compliment the lobster well. Perhaps its time to get a food brush.
These are great! I used a little bit less oregano in the butter mixture and I still had a lot left so next time I will just use one teaspoon instead of two. Thanks for sharing!
Way too much oregano. I’m going to use 1 tsp next time, at MOST. Otherwise… Delicious.
this looks great but a little messy for my taste. i don’t know if i have the patience to make this dish ..

I really like the look of these, but I’m from New Zealand and Besquick biscuit mix doesn’t exist down here, as far as I’ve seen. What’s an alternative I could use?
Hi, I’m from NZ as well, and I think it is similar to a scone dough, so it would be pretty easy to make
This is so good and they turned out perfect the first time. Thank you so very much God Blessand keeep thee.
Can i make these ahead and just reheat?? or make the dough a day ahead and bake in the a.m.?
Thanks so much for this. And thanks for saying “a la” instead of “alla” — drives me nuts. I will try this over the weekend.

Thank you! Just what I needed to add to tonight’s dinner.
Thank you so much for this recipe! I tried it recently, and it’s the best imitation recipe I’ve found so far for those delicious cheesy biscuits. Keep up the excellent work!
Hi I’m from southamerica and loved this biscuits at red lobster….i’d like to try the reciepe but don’t know what you mean when u say “”2 cups of buttermilk biscuit mix (like Bisquick or Jiffy mix)”", i asume its some kind of flavour…..but which one
byee
The recipes is asking for Bisquik I have found that this works the best for these bisquits the store brand of bisquit mix does not come out as fluffy. These taste exactly like the Red Lobster ones ENJOY
Oh wow! I’ve always loved those things. I’m stoked to give this a try!

tried these and loved them! I went a lot lighter on the oregano – only a smidge – and added some dried parsley to the butter, mostly for color.
so, super easy, super fast, and super yummy!
