Ingredients1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
12 small cubes of cheddar cheese
6 slices of cooked bacon, crumbled
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried parsley

Variations & TipsIf you have picky eaters at home, you can easily adjust this recipe to suit their tastes. Try using mozzarella or pepper jack cheese for a different flavor. For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and add a bit of sautéed spinach or sun-dried tomatoes. You can also experiment with different herbs and spices in the butter mixture, like oregano or paprika, for an extra flavor kick.
