Cheese-Garlic Biscuits

(Okay, so they don't look exactly like this, but you get the basic idea!)

   

Make up your favorite plain drop biscuit recipe. I use the one on the Bisquick box, which is:

  

2 cups of Bisquick and  2/3 cup of water or milk

  

Before combining these ingredients, add 1/2 cup of grated cheese (more if you like it cheesier), and then mix everything.  (If the dough is not moist enough to mix and drop easily, add a bit more liquid.)  Bake at 400° for 10 to 12 minutes, until golden brown on top. 

  

While the biscuits are baking, melt 1/4 cup of margarine or butter (I do it in a small glass custard-type bowl in the microwave) and squeeze 1 clove of fresh garlic into that and mix.  After biscuits have been out of the oven for about 5 minutes (to give them a little time to set), drizzle the butter-garlic mixture over the tops of each biscuit using a pastry brush.  (If you don't have one, you can use a spoon, but it's not as easy to get it evenly spread.)

     

     

Sensational Spuds

 

INGREDIENTS:

Potatoes boiled with 2 bay leaves

(but not mushy;  peel and slice)

Put into greased baking dish.

1½ c. sour cream

1/4 c. melted margarine

1/4 c. minced onion   /   1½ t. salt

1½ c. grated cheese

      

Bake at 350° for 35 minutes, covered or uncovered.

     

SPRINKLE OVER TOP:

½ c. crushed potato chips  /  ½ c. grated cheese

   

Bake 5-10 minutes more.  Mmmmm, delicious!!!
