Cheesy Bacon Biscuits
This simple biscuit recipe has been one of our very favorites to make since 2011. We enjoy whipping it up on the weekends, when entertaining family and friends. This biscuit recipe works great for breakfast and even dinner recipes…Italian meals such as spaghetti and lasagna. See my homemade biscuit recipe for more inspiration.

I loved these in a rustic cast iron skillet, but if you do not have one, a small 8×8-inch baking dish would work too. Hope you will enjoy, bake some up today, you’ll be glad you did 🙂
How To Make The Best Biscuits
Unroll your canned biscuits, watch out for that Pop!
Fresh Mozzarella is preferred here, but feel free to use shredded Mozzarella if needed.
I used the microwave bacon for a quick fix, but feel free to crisp your own bacon too.
Add shredded cheddar cheese over the bacon.
Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes until cooked and cheeses melted.
Let cool for 5 minutes and remove from skillet. Enjoy!

Instructions

Well maybe it was my oven but this recipe did not work very well. After 20 minutes, the biscuits were still mostly dough except around the very edges. I had to increase the temp to 400 and then bake for an additional 15 minutes to get them done in the middle. Then the whole thing was burned around the edge. We ate the middle and that we pretty good. I have no idea what happened but I think if I try this again, I’ll bake the biscuits a bit befor adding the cheese. It seems the biscuits were almost insulated by the cheese and couldn’t get done. Great flavors, though.
This is an incredible and easy dish. I really enjoyed it. I had a can of Grands Jrs. so I used that. Made a side of scrambled eggs and my breakfast was complete. Will definitely make this again
I don’t have a skillet, is there another way to make these in the oven?
These were absolutely, crazy delicious. I substituted 4 Bob Evans Sausages for the bacon. My Dad and Husband ate 1/2 the pan.
Thanks for posting this great recipe.
Debbie
can you use homemade bisquits or frozen ones and get the same results
These look yummy. I have them in a skillet and waiting to go into the oven
Read the ingredient list on the label. Simply Buttermilk biscuits are NOT trans fat free…they contain hydrogenated oil…that is a trans fat. They don’t have to list trans fats if they are a small amount…so they just reduce the serving size. Don’t be fooled.
How would you do the eggs? scramble 1st or pour them onto the bacon and then cheese? That would make a easy breakfast for school mornings.
I was wondering if anyone had tried it with the frozen biscuits?
These look great! I’m going to try making them with pepperoni pieces instead of bacon, though, just for a switch up. Thanks for the idear!
Could you use sausage instead?
Can you buy the base in the UK – not sure what to look for
Hi Yvonne, can you find any sort of bread type dough in the UK? That is basically all you need š
Do you have to use a cast iron skillet?
Q: Has anyone tried these in a regular baking pan like a cake pan?
Silly question but I’m gonna ask anyway…do I HAVE to use a cast iron skillet or is there something else that I can use?
Thanks!
Awesome article. Thanks for the great tips.
Hi, can you assemble these the night before and bake them in the morning?
I made these because what is better than biscuits, bacon and cheese? They were very good! I topped half of them with some chives just for a little more tastiness.
do you have to use a cast iron skillet or could you use a round non stick cake pan?
These were so delicious! Thank you, once again, for a fast, simple, and yummy recipe!
Hi! I saw this on pinterest a few weeks ago and pinned it immediately. So as I’ve been planning our Christmas menu, I remembered your yummy recipe! It is now our Xmas morning dish! Thank you for sharing!
wondering if there is a reason behind the cast iron skillet or if we can cook them in something else??
Hi, did you ever get an answer to this question? I know it was a long time ago! Wondering if I can use a 9×13.Thanks!
Hi! I wanna know if I can do this in microwave? Thanks!
Oh yummy!! I have to try those!!
YUM, these look totally delicious! What a great idea! š
I found this recipe on FoodGawker today and FELL IN LOVE! I immediately made these and now I think I’m a little obsessed with your website. Love the creative ideas, and simple too! I might be back for more recipes now too!
So glad to hear it Jessica, thanks for sharing and hope you enjoy the recipes!!
I’m new to all this and was not sure how to comment so I have to reply…LOL We tried this last night and it was delicious! Next time I make it we are going to add some sauteed onions and peppers before baking. Thanks for this!!
Just have to say I’ve made these twice already. The first with croissants and this last time with the Rustic french bread from Pillsbury. We also used breakfast sausage. Ooo-la-la, these are our new favorite dishes.
Could not locate this on smithfield.com
Sound great! I made a Creme Brulee French Toast Casserole with Drunken Strawberries this morning for my blog post. It was delish…but now I could go for this…more savory, salty (bacon) flavored treat! yumm!
We loved this recipe! We only had croissants on hand so cut those up and it came out delish!!!
Jenny, these look amazing! I think my Bible study girls would love these – do they need to be eaten immedietaly? Also curious if you think this recipe could be made in a bunt pan like monkey bread? Love your site. š
Again, these looks awesome! I just posted a quick healthy cheese stuff breakfast sandwich with real cheese/bacon on my blog a few days ago, (we are TRYING to be healthy and lose a few lbs since my cooking has totally caused some weight gain as of late) and then I see this. I could totally eat like five of these right now.
didn’t do my email right, sorry! posted right here in this reply
Hi, love your site! thank you! Question, would bacon bits from a jar (like the ones for salads) would work here?
Looks delicious! And so easy. Thanks for sharing!
These look so yummy! We will definitely be trying!
