I’ve tried a few recipe variations for the Cheddar Bay Biscuits like the ones you have from Red Lobster. Have heard that it’s difficult to re-make this recipe with similar results because the Restaurant uses a pre-made type mix, but this is about as close as it gets. Using the ingredients and directions below, you’ll come about as close as you can come to the Cheddar Bay Biscuits! Just be careful because they tend to cook fast and can be easy to overbake in the oven.

Enjoy!

Cheddar Biscuit (Just like Red Lobster’s Cheddar Bay Biscuits)

Ingredients:

2 cups Bisquick
2/3 cup milk
1/4 cup melted butter
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder or garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon parsley

Instructions

1. To prepare, preheat your oven to 450 degrees F.

2. Combine the 2 cups of Bisquick Mix, cheese, and milk in a medium bowl and stir for about 30 seconds.

3. Lightly grease a cookie sheet and drop the biscuits by spoonfuls onto the cookie sheet.

4. Bake the biscuits for about 8-10 minutes. The biscuits will be a golden brown color when they are done.

5. While the biscuits are baking, in a separate small bowl, stir together the melted butter and garlic powder (or salt).

6. Drizzle the butter mixture over the warm biscuits. Sprinkle with parsley and serve them warm. Depending on the size of the biscuits, this recipe makes approximately 8-10 biscuits.

There are so many times when I eat at a restaurant and wish that I knew how to cook or prepare some of the items on the menu. So after some searching and trial and error, I have found a recipe for an awesome crab dip and tweaked it so that is just like the one at Joe’s Crab Shack! Serve this crab dip with some whole grain crackers at your next summer party or superbowl party and you are sure to have some happy guests.

Just like Joe’s Crab Shack Crabby Dip

Ingredients

6-8 ounces of fresh blue crab meat

2 oz of softened Cream Cheese

1/2 Cup Sour Cream (substitute with low fat for a lower calorie dip)
4 teaspoons of Diced Sweet Onion
1 Tablespoons of Butter, softened
4 teaspoons Finely Diced Green Pepper
1/4 tsp. Seasoned Salt
Pinch of Paprika
1 Tablespoon of Mayo
1/2 Cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
Fresh Diced Green Onion to garnish
Fresh Chopped Parsley to garnish

Directions -

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease a shallow baking dish.

In a medium bowl, blend together the mayonnaise, softened butter, sour cream, and softened cream cheese until the mixture is smooth. Next, combine the mozzarella cheese, onions, and green peppers. Finally, blend in the crab meat carefully (I always blend crab meat last so that the pieces are not minced down). Take the mixture and spoon it into the baking dish. Place the dip in the oven for about 12-14 minutes. The crab dip mixture will bubble when it is done. 

Serve the dip in a pretty serving bowl surrounded by whole grain fancy crackers. For a larger party, you can double or triple the recipe.

Enjoy!
