Garlic Cheese Biscuits

My father in law is a very interesting man. My husband is his carbon copy looks, personality, and cooking skills.  One of the things that I found so attractive about my husband was his ability to cook. I mean really cook not just open a can of sauce but make full meals with two vegetables and a starch. The kind of cooking I don't really do.

His dad has made some pretty good dishes in the 8 years we've been together but his garlic cheese biscuits are the best.



Mr.O's famous garlic cheese biscuits

Look at the cheese buttery goodness that is these biscuits.  Trust me they taste 20x's better than they look. 

He was so kind as to give me the secret receipt and I tried it out. Mine came nowhere close to tasting as yummy as his. 

Ingredients:

2 cups Bisquick

2/3 cups milk

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (Mr.O likes fine chop)

1/4 melted butter

1/4 garlic salt

generous dash Italian Seasoning

 Preparation:

Combine 1^st three ingredients. Dough will be sticky.  Spoon into greased cookie sheet.  DO not use paper liners. Combine last 3 ingredients; brush  ¾ evenly over the batter. Reserve ¼ of mix.   Bake 10-15mins at 450 degree until golden brown. Brush remaining butter mixture on complete biscuits.

When the Hungry Girl Cooks or Southern Style Breakfast of Champions

I know it may not seem like it but I do cook. On occasion. This morning I was feeling real Southern or kinda country depending on your perspective.  My daughter woke up asking for (demanding she's 3) pancakes so being a wonderful mom I obliged.  I didn't just make pancakes however, I went all out and made cheese grits, fried fish, chicken sausage, and eggs for my husband.
My mom makes fish and girts on special morning. Its not an everyday dish so I'm not sure why I cooked it up this morning. I must have been feeling special having had the first full night of sleep in two weeks. My entire house has passed the flu on one to the other and finally to me. We are all feeling better now so a big breakfast was in order.
I would share the receipt but there really isn't anything major to share.  Luckily we had mix for the pancakes because from starch was not happening this morning.

 

*My husband picked this mix up it was cheap but good. I'm a food snob would have never purchased*

 Ive been making grits since forever and always do it the same but I didn't use anything special.  Quaker 5min. grits. Same as my Mom perfect every time.

The fish I get the big bag of individually wrapped tilapia from Costo. They are perfect since you only use what you need. I slipped the frozen packets in a bowl of water for 5mins and they were ready to fry. Seasoned with just salt and pepper and a light dusting of flour. 

The finished plate!!!! Yum-O!

Yes, I used paper because I didn't want to wash more dishes. I'm a lazy cook. I forgot to turn on the chicken sausage in the over. I had a little help in the kitchen from a 3yr old budding chef and I was too busy trying to keep the mess to a minimum.  I still made it and my husband ate them. They are from Costo too(love that store if you haven't guessed yet.)
