Copycat Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits

We don’t go to Red Lobster too often. For one thing, it’s way too expensive with a large family! Plus, a few people out of the group really are not a fan of seafood or fish! Truthfully, although I enjoy fish and seafood sometimes, I only go to Red Lobster for one reason – the Cheddar Bay Biscuits … Isn’t that the reason anyone goes there?!?

It’s a great thing those biscuits are super easy to copycat at home! You probably have everything to make them right now! Now, we can have them any time our little ol’ hearts desire!

Our family probably has them 3 or 4 times a month – and anytime I make any kind of biscuits, my kiddos always ask “will it be the ones with cheese and butter?” They are really popular with my kids! Let’s save some money and make these ourselves! Let me show you how ….

Cheddar Bay Biscuits FAQ’s

If you have questions about making these Copycat Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits, I have answers! Take a look at this section before leaving a comment if you have questions or want suggestions.

  • What can I substitute for the Bisquick?

For EACH cup of Bisquick, substitute:

    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1-1/2 tsp baking powder
    • 1/4 tsp salt
    • 1 tbsp shortening, vegetable oil, or melted butter

With two forks or a pastry blender, mix the ingredients well until small pea-sized pebbles form.

  • How do you reheat leftover Cheddar Bay Biscuits?
  1. Microwave: Wrap a biscuit in a damp paper towel and place it on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on HIGH for 15-20 seconds. If needed, continue to microwave an additional 10-15 seconds or until the biscuits are heated through.
  2. Oven: Lightly spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Place biscuits on a baking sheet and heat in a 350°F for about 6-8 minutes or until the biscuits are heated through. 
  • What goes with Cheddar Bay Biscuits?

Everything goes with these biscuits!! ? On a serious note, they go well with seafood, steak, chicken, pork, soup, and casseroles. Although, I maybe wouldn’t eat them with cereal … or maybe I would?! 

  • Can you freeze Cheddar Bay Biscuits?

Absolutely! Completely cool the baked biscuits and wrap tightly in freezer paper or aluminum foil. Then place the biscuits in a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag for up to 3 months. 

  • Do these biscuits need to be refrigerated?

They are fine at room temperature for up to 3 days in a tightly sealed container. Any longer than that, they really do need to be refrigerated.

    Looks delicious, Jamie! Pinned 🙂 Seafood restaurants are one of our favorites, but we tend to over order because there are just so much to choose from which I never make at home {Tried making Lobster Thermidor once.. ugh, did not end well!}

    Thanks for posting this! We don't go to Red Lobster often either, mostly because of the cost as well. A student budget, unfortunately, doesn't allow for dining out often. Their biscuits are B's absolute favourite thing at Red Lobster. I can't wait to make these myself!!!

    Dear Jamie, I'll be honest that was the only reason I ever enjoyed going to Red Lobster! …but like you, it just got too expensive with the family and friends. Besides, I like dining at home anyway. Love how these biscuits are easy to make…they look delicious! Found you through Marvelous Mondays. Blessings, Catherine xo

    I've never been to Red Lobster, but I do know that these biscuits are spoken of highly. They sound so good. I could probably make a meal out of them. I'm going to start calling you the Bisquick Queen! Thanks for linking!
