Garlic cheddar biscuits

There are certain restaurants that I go to because I enjoy the atmosphere or the service.  There are other restaurants that I go to because their food is so good.  And then sometimes, I go to a restaurant because the "complimentary bread" that comes with my meal is so unbelievably delicious and addictive, I always take some home for later!  Red Lobster is one of those places.  Personally, I am not a huge seafood fan, and they only have a few non-seafood dishes, but when someone suggests going there, I immediately get hunger pangs for those cheddar bay biscuits!  

Thanks to Pinterest, I have found a recipe that very closely resembles those amazing biscuits.  If you are a fan, you HAVE to try these!  The best part is, this recipe uses a mix, so they are super easy, and super quick to whip up.  Seriously, at your next dinner, serve these.  While your families' mouths may be too full of biscuit-yumminess to say it out loud, their eyes will shout a resounding THANK YOU!

Ingredients:
- 2 cups buttermilk biscuit mix (i.e Bisquick, Jiffy)
- 1 heaping cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 3/4 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 2/3 cup fat free milk
- 2 Tbs. butter
- 2 tsp. dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp. garlic salt


Preheat your oven to 400*.  Spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray.

In a mixing bowl, combine biscuit mix, cheese, garlic powder, and salt until cheese is well coated.  Next, stir in the milk, and stir until thoroughly combined, forming a sticky dough.  



Next, use your hands to form the dough into 12 biscuit-shaped rounds and place onto baking sheet (if the dough is too sticky and sticking to your hands, coat your hands in a little bit of flour).  Bake in the oven for about ten minutes, or until lightly browned.  

While they are baking, melt the butter, and whisk in the oregano and garlic salt.


As soon as the biscuits come out of the oven, brush the seasoned butter evenly onto the tops of each biscuit.  Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.  Be prepared for "ooohs" and "ahhhs".  Enjoy!
