Herb & Cheese Biscuits for the Win
The prototypical Thanksgiving meal always has its staples. You know, those items that you just have to have if you’re celebrating the American Thanksgiving. Obviously, there needs to be the requisite turkey, potatoes (like my twice-baked sweet potato recipe!), and some variety of cranberry dish. It just wouldn’t be Turkey Day without these!
The sides can take a lot of time and preparation, so when it comes to bread—and for all those carb lovers out there, we all know that it’s a mandatory part of any meal—it can appear to be an afterthought in so many cases. Or sometimes it’s an even worse situation: something from one of those poppable cans (I won’t mention any brands). I totally understand that having those items that can be a needed shortcut is helpful, but with this quick herb cheese biscuit recipe, you now have no excuse! Seriously… none!
This year, with the express approval from my mom, I opted to switch up my family’s staple recipe with a few herbs and some cheese. This gives the biscuits a flavorful and moist texture that won’t put them on the sidelines. Instead, they’ll be the total star of the show! And you’ll be a Thanksgiving hero for making the best part!
Cheers to a happy Thanksgiving!

Made these tonight with beef barley soup. Did squares, who cares. Garlic butter on top. Omg!
Any reason I couldn’t cut these into square biscuits?
Yummy biscuits. I didn’t have fresh sage so I substituted rosemary. The flavor was delicious and they were very easy to make.
Kaleb/Joel, the printed form of the recipe says Prep time 5 min and Cook Time 45 min. Obviously incorrect.
I made the Herb Cheese Biscuits today thank you for the recipe. They are delicious.

I happen to love the cranberry sauce from the can. I definitely have to have it for my requisite next day turkey sandwich. I’ve had the homemade version (many of them) and like the canned stuff the best. To each his own. I will definitely be making these biscuits at some point. I already have rolls done for tomorrow. Have a blessed day.
