Or –you can purchase a box of the Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits if you wouldn’t have a use for a box of Bisquick. (Just an idea) 🙂

I was going to say the same lol. I’ve tried several copycats and this is just one that can’t be replicated, IMO. The box is awesome and easy though.

Add a packet of yeast to make it fluffyer, and dont forget garnish it with cool whip for that sweetness.

True! For the longest time, I never bought Bisquick. Now I do because there are a couple recipes I use it for. You can also make your own Bisquick, though I’ve never tried.

With it being lent, I needed to throw in some variety on Fridays & make these with Parmesan crusted tilapia & Brussels sprouts. These bisquits are so easy & good. My kids who are very picky eaters love this meal – go figure!

Around all the other seasonings. But it can be regional. If you can’t find Old Bay, any “creole” seasoning should do. I think Emeril has one or you can google homemade Old Bay seasoning to make in a pinch.

No one said blue lives didn’t matter….all that was said was black lives ALSO matter…along with white…its like going to a breast cancer awareness rally and screaming that all cancer matters… !!!

Katie February 18, 2016 at 8:09 pm MST
Not true. I’ve had many people argue with me saying that all lives matter takes away from black lives matter and lessens the cause. I don’t understand how saying everyone matters takes away from saying only a specific part of “everyone” matters. Let’s just all care about everyone.

BeAware February 18, 2016 at 9:23 pm MST
Katie then you are not understanding what the group is saying…u don’t need to say White lives matter…because lets be honest here…white lives have always mattered. But when you have an epidemic of unarmed black men/women/teens being shot and/or stopped to be inspected for no reason, saying black lives matter is not saying that no other lives matter.
No need to say all lives matter…here they are just bringing the focus on being black and how we have lots of progress to make…and no im not black…just agree with the cause.My example above still stands, at a breast cancer awareness rally should we be offended and scream ‘ all cancer matters’…no because it doesn’t need saying…thats all. And i like discussing stuff like this..we are all having an intelligent discussion with no name calling.

The Redlobster boxes are cheap, too. I got mine at Target for $2. Yum! And so much simpler. My Grandma used to make this copy cat recipe so when I buy the box I think how now she could have just bought the box and saved the extra work. Love Grandmas!

Thank you for the Texas Roadhouse bread copy. We love those rolls! But does the butter have sugar or honey in it?

These aren’t Texas Roadhouse rolls, but copycat Red Lobster -biscuits-. Texas roadhouse are a yeast based roll and they top it with a honey/cinnamon butter topping.
