Did someone mention bacon? Put bacon in anything and I’m all over it. These biscuits look so, so tasty. Love the flecks of color running throughout each one. I’m eating with my eyes 🙂
For all of us bacon lovers I am sure these would be more than welcome with our comfort foods this fall.
hahahah going to prove the fastest way to a mans heart is through his tummy. Love biscuits- especially drop biscuits! I hate going through the whole rolling out/cutting ordeal. Great work chicky.
These are the most beautiful biscuits ever! Mmmm!
You have struck my weakness….biscuits! Yum! My grandmother would make biscuits all the time for me when I was a little girl. So I’m a huge lover. I love these and I love the addition of the bacon and cheese…heaven! Wish I had one of these right now. 🙂
I had some scone recently that were very similar. A great way to start the morning.
i used to make these all the time…it’s been too long! they look incredible 🙂
I love that you don’t have to roll and cut these! They look amazing!
Love the touch of bacon and green onions in these. This is an awesome Thanksgiving and Christmas recipe too!
I bet these would go great with a big, warm pot of clam chowder or chili… mmm!
Bookmarked! My entire family will love these. They will be perfect with a big bowl of soup. YUM.
Of course Josh was smiling, ’cause you are the best. Bacon rules, great way to use it in these scones 🙂 xo
These look heavenly! I can almost smell them on my side of the computer 😉 My husband would have the same reaction as yours! He loves anything with bacon!
Oh wow! The colors are just popping on these. They sound wonderful
Those look very tasty! Great colors.
Cheers,
Rosa
Oh gosh, I am drooling at the top photo. Bacon isn’t really on my diet though, so I better not make them! You’re sweet to make a treat for Josh; bet you’re really getting excited to have the kitchen done!
Kalyn-next time we make them we will save you one. You deserve a splurge once in awhile:) The kitchen is so close. We will have you over soon!
These look fabulous Maria! My boys and hubbie all love bacon, so I’ll have to try these next time I make soup. 🙂
Ohboyoboyoboy! Guess what I just bought? BACON – for the first time in months. Your biscuits look just fabulous, and chock full of all my favorite eatables. Can’t wait to make them!
Little drop biscuits from heaven!
these look fantastic. i LOVE biscuits and these would be no exception!!!
Well of all things on this earth, bacon IS the way to a man’s heart (unless he’s vegan). These sound amazing!
My husband will love me when I make these. thanks!
Biscuits are my happiness. No matter what, a biscuit always makes things better 🙂 These sound fabulous and perfect for all bacon lovers!!!
I’m going to agree with your husband, “YES!” This sounds like a great flavor combination.
These look yummy, Maria! FYI, Whole Foods has chopped up cooked real bacon bits in a tiny pouch in the bacon cooler–no frying! I’m so happy to see the recipe titles are printing out when I click on the PRINT RECIPE function. Cheers to you!
Jan-thank you for the helpful hint. I am glad the print function is working for you again.
It seems like I make something with bacon at least once a week – we are definitely a bacon loving household! These look amazing!
they are so pretty!
bacon AND biscuits…2 of my favorite things! Looks like a wonderful recipe. 🙂
These would make anyone happy. They look perfect Maria 🙂
My first thought when I saw this title was…”wait…aren’t you a vegetarian?” Hehe.
Ha! Yes, I am still a veggie:) Josh enjoys his pork products though:)
Bacon makes anything taste good. These look delectable!
These are similar to my favorite biscuits at Red Lobster, so I’m sure I would love them!
These are right up my alley! I love their texture, too.
These would go perfectly with chili. Delicious!
for some reason the thought of making biscuits always seemed so scary but after reading the recipe I feel confident i can make them. and if i can make my bf as happy as josh was it will be all worth it 🙂
oooh! I’d like some right now!!!
How funny, I can just picture Josh’s smile. He’s one lucky man!
Well, that’s my motto: the best way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. These look better than those addicting biscuits from Red Lobster.
What pretty biscuits, Maria! I never thought I’d see the day when bacon graced your site. 😉
Oh, these look very tempting. My family would eat every crumb!
Bacon AND cheese in a BISCUIT? Sounds like heaven to me!
Well there you go, bacon in the biscuits what a wonderful idea!

I did a double take when I saw a recipe with bacon on your site! They do look fantastic, though. I know my hubby would love them since he loves bacon, as well!
Just made these for my family last night to go with our ham & potato chowder. They were amazing!!! Thanks for another great recipe Maria! 🙂
You are very welcome! Glad you enjoyed the biscuits.
Oh my goodness…I need to make these ASAP. I love a good biscuit!

Love your cute blog!
Thanks Claire!
These will be such a huge hit in my house, I can’t even begin to tell you! I think I’ll make them this weekend. Hope you are well! I’ve been a bad visitor lately, but you guys continue to be one of my first stops whenever I am looking for the perfect recipe – you never let me down! 🙂
Ahh! I’m making these TONIGHT they look so delicious!
Can you make these ahead of time/reheat them?
Yes, you can. They were still good the second day! Enjoy!
I tried these last night and they turned out very very good. The biscuits baked up light and fluffy and were very flavorful. I actually used one this morning to make a breakfast sandwich with some scrambled eggs and bacon. Next time I might try a blend of cheeses and see how that works.
Thank you for such a good recipe!
it might be my oven but 450 for 15 minutes burnt the bottoms so I think I’ll try for 425 the next time but the flavor was very good
