Cheesy Bacon Refrigerated Biscuits

What You’ll Need
Here are the ingredients you’ll need to make this refrigerated biscuit recipe at home. See the recipe card located at the bottom of the post for full details.
- Butter– I use salted butter for my recipes, unsalted works just fine too.
- Refrigerated Biscuit Dough– Find refrigerated biscuit dough in the refrigerated section of the grocery store near the pre-made cookie dough. Pillsbury is a brand that makes both.
- Fresh Mozzarella– Fresh mozzarella is delicious in the recipe, find it near the cheese section of the grocery store.
- Cooked Crumbled Bacon– You can use ready bacon that you can microwave or you can brown your own bacon. Let it cool and crumble the bacon.
- Shredded Cheese– I like to use mild cheddar, use your favorite cheddar cheese.
How To Make Cheesy Bacon Refrigerated Biscuits
Preheat Oven and Prepare Cast Iron Skillet. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and brush a 9 inch cast iron skillet with melted butter.
Place Biscuits Into Skillet. Unroll Biscuits from can and place into bottom of skillet.
Top Biscuits With Cheese, Bacon and Cheddar. Top with slices of mozzarella cheese, bacon crumbles, then shredded cheddar.
Bake. Bake for 15-20 minutes until cheese is melted and biscuits and cooked through. Serve warm.
Recipe Tips For Success
Use Good Cheeses. Fresh mozzarella cheese adds a delicious flavor to the biscuits. If you can find fresh mozzarella, it makes a great addition.
Use A Cast Iron Skillet. I love using a cast iron skillet for making this biscuit recipe. It adds a nice crisp to the bottom and looks great when serving.
How To Serve
Serve biscuits warm as a side to your favorite meal, or just serve them alone. They’re great dipped in marinara sauce, Ranch Dressing, to name a couple.
Storage Instructions
Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
Reheating Instructions
To reheat biscuits, place in an air fryer basket at 350 degrees for 2-3 minutes, or until hot and crisp.

Welcome to my online kitchen! Picky Palate is where you’ll find family friendly recipes along with the best Disney eats, tips and copycat recipes! 
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 🙂
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! 🙂
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. 🙂
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!
