Total Time: This recipe takes about 25 minutes from start to finish.
Variations: Use these cheesy biscuits as the base for some Make-Ahead Sausage & Egg Breakfast Bagels, or serve them with Biscuits and Gravy for a hearty Southern meal. You can also stir in some spices, chives, thyme, or jalapenos for extra flavor!
Tools For This Recipe: You will need a mixing bowl, a whisk or sifter, a spoon for mixing, a rolling pin, a biscuit cutter or glass, and baking sheets.

What You’ll Need for Ingredients

Bacon: Use six slices of bacon, cooked and diced into small pieces so they fold evenly into the dough. Karlynn’s Tip: Try maple bacon for a sweet-savory twist that pairs beautifully with the cheddar!

Cheese: This recipe calls for standard cheddar, giving the biscuits their classic cheesy taste. Karlynn’s Tip: You can swap in smoked cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend of both for a bold, melty flavor.

Milk: Milk helps bind the dry ingredients and gives the dough its soft texture. Karlynn’s Tip: If you have buttermilk on hand, switch things up and turn these bites into rich Buttermilk Biscuits!

Flour: The flour is mixed with baking powder and salt to create a light, fluffy biscuit base. Karlynn’s Tip: Sift and level your flour rather than scooping it straight from the bag to avoid dense biscuits.

How To Make Bacon Cheddar Biscuits

This is a quick overview of the recipe. The full list of ingredients & complete step-by-step instructions are in the recipe card below.

Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Combine the dry ingredients well by whisking or sifting. Then cut in the butter until the mixture is coarse crumbs.
Once the butter is added, pour in the milk, then mix in the cheese and bacon.
Roll the dough out until it’s ½ – ¾ inch thick, then use either a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out the biscuits.
Place your biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet, six per sheet.
Bake for 10-15 minutes until they have risen and are starting to brown on top.

Karlynn’s Tips and Tricks for the Perfect Bacon Cheddar Biscuits

Customize Your Biscuits: Make these biscuits your own by swapping in different cheeses like Gouda, Swiss, or pepper jack. Mix in fresh herbs, spices, or even a dash of garlic powder to give each batch a unique twist!
Perfect for Leftovers: These biscuits pack beautifully for next-day lunches. Add a container of soup, and you’ve got an easy, cozy meal for the kids.
Brush the Tops: Brush your biscuits with a little melted butter or garlic butter straight out of the oven for a warm, glossy finish!

Storage Instructions

These Bacon Cheddar Biscuits never last long in my house, but if you manage to save a few, storing them is easy!

Refrigerator: Once fully cooled, store your biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to 7 days.

Freezer: These biscuits freeze wonderfully! After cooling, wrap each one in foil or place them in a freezer-safe bag, keeping them separated. Freeze for up to 3 months, according to USDA food safety guidelines. When you’re ready to enjoy, unwrap and warm them on a baking sheet at 350°F for 15–20 minutes.
