Easy Garlic Cheese Biscuits

This is a quick and easy meal idea if you don't have much time to prepare a meal. Garlic Cheese Biscuits are perfect as a side dish, or if you make gravy and add some meat, it can be served as a main meal.
 

Ingredients

2 c. flour
2 Tbsp. chives (optional)
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. garlic powder
2 Tbsp. chives (optional)
3/4 c. cheddar cheese, grated finely (more or less to taste)
4 Tbsp. cold butter
1 cup milk *

Topping

3 Tbs. butter melted
1 Tbs. chopped fresh parsley
1 /2 tsp. garlic powder

Directions

Mix flour, chives, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and cheddar cheese in a bowl. 

Cut in butter with a pastry blender or fork until it resembles cornmeal.  Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.

Pour the milk into the well that you made in the flour.  Stir just enough to combine ingredients. Do not over stir.

Drop the dough by tablespoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 425° to 450° for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Makes 10 biscuits. 

While the biscuits are baking, make the topping.

Combine the melted butter, parsley, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Mix together and brush over the tops of the hot biscuits. 

Notes: 

You can use sour milk or buttermilk in place of the whole milk.

You could add bits of bacon or pepperoni to this recipe, too.

Better yet, make some gravy and pour that over the biscuits for a super yummy meal.
