Bacon Cheddar Bay Beer Bread Biscuits from www.dineanddish.net

Before I start my post, about how much I love Kansas Farmers and share this fabulous Bacon Cheddar Bay Beer Bread Biscuit recipe with you, I wanted to pass on this bit of news with you…

Win Free Bacon for a Year with the KS Pork AssociationSee that banner? Yes, the one that says you can win BACON for a year? Well click on it and find out how to enter the Show Us Your Bacon contest the Kansas Pork Association is hosting over on their facebook page. Can you imagine winning a years supply of bacon? Oh the goodness that will be coming from your kitchen with that much bacon is unimaginable! If you win, you’ll have to share with me, ok? 🙂

Now that you’ve entered the contest (right?), is it possible for me to wrangle you back in with some talk of bacon recipes and how blessed we are to have hard working farmers in our lives?

bed day

Last Friday, Leah and I (and Meg) had a lazy day at home. We decided to wear our pajamas, watch movies, read books, nap, and even eat lunch in my bed. It was such a great day… something that we don’t do very often, but well worth taking the day off. As we were feasting on our stovetop buttered popcorn and watching one of Leah’s favorite movies, I started thinking about what a luxury it was to take a day off like this. Then I started thinking about the farmers I know, and I imagined that they probably never have days where they can just ignore their responsibilities and veg.

Farmers are some of the hardest working people I know. In fact, when I used to be a recruiter and worked in Human Resources, I always knew when someone who grew up on a farm was hired, they would tend to out perform most of the other people we hired. The work ethic of farmers and their kids is so much different than that of people who don’t have farm experience. My husband grew up on a farm and he’s always telling our kids how lucky they have it… his after school time and weekends on the farm were spent waking up super early every day and doing chores. That’s drastically different than what my kids experience.

Growing up in Kansas, I’ve been surrounded by farmers my whole life. I’ve known so many families, like The Bellar’s…Pork Farmers from Elk County, KS. It’s pretty cool to know people who have had multiple generations devote their lives to providing high quality food for consumers through farming. Knowing what tough work it is, you know they absolutely have to love their jobs to keep on doing it. I’m thankful for all the farmers out there who work tirelessly every day so we can eat!

I’ve teamed up with a few other bloggers to bring you a tasty recipe using some wonderful Kansas Pork. The Bacon Cheddar Bay Beer Bread Biscuits were made out of curiosity on my part, to be honest with you. I always felt like true Cheddar Bay Biscuits were missing something…that something being bacon. I also love the flavor a bottle of beer adds to bread. I thought I’d combine two of my favorite breads (this Buttery Beer Bread recipe is my favorite!) into one to see how they turned out.

Bacon Cheddar Bay Beer Bread Recipe

It was an experiment well worth trying because these quick bread biscuits turned out to be absolutely fantastic. They are tender and full of such amazing flavors, and are the perfect accompaniment to a hearty bowl of soup or chili. I hope you’ll give this recipe a try! Enjoy!

Bacon Cheddar Bay Beer Bread Biscuits

Beer bread and Cheddar Bay Biscuits come together to make a Bacon Cheddar Bay Beer Bread Biscuit recipe. This is the perfect quick bread recipe to accompany a bowl of hot soup or chili!
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes
Servings 16 -24 biscuits

Ingredients

  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup butter flavored Crisco
  • 12 ounces beer I used Shiner Bock
  • 10 slices Thick Cut Bacon fried and crumbled
  • 1 cup Mild Cheddar Cheese shredded
  • 3 Tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 Tablespoon Tabasco sauce

Instructions

  • Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Use a pastry cutter to cut in the shortening until it is all combined.
  • Slowly pour in the beer. Stir until well combined.
  • Stir in crumbled bacon and cheddar cheese. Combine.
  • Using a small ice cream scoop, scoop out dough and place on a Silpat lined baking sheet (or a baking sheet lightly sprayed with Pam Cooking Spray). Bake in a preheated 375° oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  • While the biscuits are baking, combine melted butter and Tabasco sauce. Remove the baked biscuits from the oven and brush each with the Tabasco/Butter mixture. Place the biscuits back into the oven for 2-3 minutes. Serve warm.

    Mmmmm! Cheddar Bay PLUS bacon! You are speaking my language. Some days I totally think I could and would want to be a farmer. Just live off the land in my own little corner of the world. There is something so romantic about that idea. Then I think about how hard it is and how much I love days like the one you had, and I think maybe I am not a farmer for a reason!

    Does it need to be shortening? Do you think they would work with butter instead?

    • Kristen says

      November 1, 2013 at 3:30 pm

      Hi Rosie – I am guessing you can but I’m not positive. A lot of Cheddar Bay Biscuit recipes do use butter, so I imagine it would totally work fine.

    I am shamelessly obsessed with Cheddar Bay Biscuits from Red Lobster- but as soon as you mentioned making them with bacon it was like something clicked. Cheddar Biscuits and bacon are made for each other- and these look so good!

    These look amazing! I love what you said about hiring people who have worked on a farm. It’s so true. I grew up on a farm, and when I was a retail bookstore manager, I was always on the lookout for people who listed farm work on their previous experience. You simply cannot outwork a farmer.

    This post hit home…and not just because of the BACON! As a farmer, it’s still hard for me to say that, because sometimes I forget..growing wine or grapes as we say, is farming and agriculture at its finest. It’s hard work and sometimes a day off is what I need. It does happen in the winter but around September every year I’m tired!!

    These biscuits are a great nod to the pork farmers, can’t wait to try this since I’ve never experienced a cheddar bay anything!

New ink inspired by a quote in my friend @andiemmitchell amazing memoir “It Was Me All Along”. 

I tend to be an all or nothing person and look at long term and get overwhelmed instead of just taking things one day at a time. I’ve said her quote to myself multiple times a day for years. Now I’ll have a permanent reminder. 

The full quote: “Can you do it today? Can you make it through today without bingeing? Just today, and tomorrow we’ll reconsider?”

I need to go back and get a couple missed spots filled in but I love it. Thanks Rob at @irezumitattookc 🎉

Here’s a fun fact I heard on the radio several years ago…October 5th is the most popular day to be born (9 months prior is New Years Eve-ish). 🎉 

Happy birthday to all my many many birthday twins out there! It’s the big 4-8 for me…although this past year as a Covid long hauler I feel like I’ve aged 20 years in the past 1. But things are looking up! I’m excited for the next 365 days of my life. I’m blessed and so thankful to still be here, chugging along.

This picture is from last week when @kellykdoyle and I were visiting colleges in Colorado. If I have any followers with ties to @coloradostateuniversity or @cuboulder I’d love to chat!

I love being a parent of teens...but I miss the days of parenting kids who loved going to school, who didn't struggle with major anxiety, who loved their bodies, and were confident about how they looked. I miss pre-covid days where lunch wasn't distanced, kids had the opportunity to connect and socialize at school, where mask-wearing wasn't even a topic, let alone one that divides. 

The past 2 years have changed my kids. They have gained so many positive things, but they've also gained a new kind of anxiety that wasn't there before. And I hate it for them. They've seen first hand how long haul covid has changed our family. They've seen the selfishness of others in ways they haven't seen before. They've had to grow up faster, worry about things they shouldn't have to worry about, and learn the hard way how this world can really be. And it hurts my heart for them. 

I have a new senior, sophomore and 6th grader here at home. Missing my sophomore in college a ton. I hope the world is kind to them and they are kind to the world. I want nothing more than for them to be happy and to be surrounded by good people who love and accept them for who they are and who also push them to live a full, rich and happy life. I pray every day for them - and for your kids...and pray that we are all raising a generation of empathetic and kind changemakers.

I was a “houseplant lady” before the pandemic, but I think since the pandemic I get to add the word “crazy” to that title. So. Many. Plants. I’m not mad about it!

This weekend @kctinygreenhouse I picked up this beautiful Monstera Peru as well as a bag of Jeff’s Jungle Mix. You know when a new to you potting mix has you super excited, you’ve crossed the line into la la land 😂 Swipe to see how pretty it is!

What pandemic hobby did you pick up?

Book Lovers Giveaway (read to the end)!!! ⬇️ ⬇️ 

Supporting my local independent bookstore @rainydaybooks looks a lot different than it used to these days. Temporarily gone are the days of lingering in store, browsing the shelves, walking out with an armful of books I didn’t expect to buy.

And as we virtually celebrate Independent Bookstore Day on 4/24, I wanted to share a way you too can help keep Independent bookstores afloat now (and in the future).

Can’t believe we’re doing the college tour thing already with my second baby! 

So question for any of you who sent your kids to out of state schools or went to out of state schools...how did you do it? She wants to get the heck out of Kansas (I’d like to go with her!). We have money saved, she’ll most likely get a scholarship or two, she’s paying and has money saved as well...but even with that out of state tuition is a beast of an amount. So, did you just assume that student loans were going to be part of that life? And is that worth it to give your kids a shot at a new life outside of your home state? I wish I would have left Kansas for university, and have been here since I was born 😩. I want different for her if that’s what she wants but also just don’t have any experience with how people do out of state college! Any tips?

J is for...jam!

My friend @wakschmale makes the best strawberry jam...and I completely forgot about a jar she gave me last year until this morning. Which then inspired me to make my favorite buttermilk biscuits. So so good. Are you a jam, honey, just butter or plain biscuit fan? I love biscuits allll the ways, except with gravy. I have super bad memories of biscuits and gravy growing up. 🤢

I’m still slowly making my way through the alphabet for @kimklassen_innercircle a-z photo challenge. I’m bound and determined to finish. It may just take me a little longer than I originally anticipated 🤗.

I is for Inspiration!
.
The “long haul” effects of having Covid back in December are really presenting themselves lately. The continuous persistent headaches are taking a toll and the connection between the brain fog and word retrieval function of my brain has been extra challenging. I had no idea a couple months out, the cognitive effects would still be hanging around.
.
With that said, when I get a burst of inspiration I’m grabbing on for dear life. I made our favorite chocolate chip cookies recipe yesterday and felt the desire to update the blog post photos from 2007! We make these cookies all the time, so I’m not sure why it’s taken me so many years to give that poor post some new photos.
.
If you’re interested in the recipe you can find the link currently in my profile. Enjoy!!

G is for...oh so grateful!

I flew to South Texas yesterday to visit my parents whom I haven’t seen in 2 years. They live around 17 hours away from us. We typical get to see each other a few times a year but with the pandemic and other health issues it just wasn’t able to happen and I’ve missed them soooo much.

Grateful to have had COVID last month. Although it was not at all fun, it gave me the antibodies to make this trip possible. My dad is having surgery tomorrow so I’m helping with my mom so my dad can recover without having to worry about her.

Kansas is enjoying frigid temperatures and snow. I picked a great week to head south.

F is for...food photography.
.
This time of year especially, food photography (and I guess all photography actually) is a tug of war with time and light. I had planned on making and photographing a delicious pasta recipe, but my grocery delivery ran a couple of hours late because of snowstorm. So, at the eleventh hour I decided to make a cake...that took over an hour to bake and I had about 90 minutes of natural light left...leaving me with about 30 minutes of ok light to work with.
.
Anyway, this wouldn't work for a client shoot because the cake, although delicious, didn't turn out looking so great. But it will work great for today's F photo for the @kimklassen_innercircle A-Z photo project:) Lemon Citrus Yogurt Cake from this weeks @cabotcheese newsletter. So good!
