Ingredients

  • 2 (11.36 ounce) boxes Red Lobster cheddar bay biscuit mix (seasoning packet separated)
  • 1 ½ cups water
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted (measure before melting)

For topping:

  • ¼ cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted (measure before melting, see notes below)
  • 2 seasoning packets

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Spray a 9x9-inch baking dish with baking spray and set aside. Note: Technically there is enough butter to keep the biscuits from sticking but I like to be extra cautious.
  • In a large bowl, stir together 2 (11.36 ounce) boxes Red Lobster cheddar bay biscuit mix , 1 1/2 cups water, and 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese until there are no dry patches. You are not adding the seasoning packets. That will be used with the topping later.

  • Gently press the dough into the baking dish, spreading it out smoothly. The dough will be sticky. I like to dip my fingers into some of the butter to help it not stick to my hands.

  • Cut the dough into 9 squares. This doesn’t need to be perfect. It will just help with cutting the finished biscuits later.

  • Bake (on the middle oven rack) for about 25-30 minutes, cover loosely with tin foil at the 20-minute mark if it is getting too dark.
    NOTE: Oven times DO VARY but tops should be golden brown and when you insert a toothpick in the center, it should come out clean with no wet batter.
  • When the biscuits are ready, combine ¼ cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted with 2 seasoning packets in a small bowl and stir together until combined.
