I saw something on Facebook the other day that made me laugh. It was something along the lines of Thanksgiving being that special day each year when we make 17 side dishes our kids won’t eat. I don’t know about you, but around here, that couldn’t be more true!

Stuffing? Nope. Sweet potatoes? No way. Green bean casserole? You’ve got to be kidding me. But these Cheesy Muffin Tin Biscuits are always a YES.

They’re rich, buttery, and loaded with cheese. In other words… you can’t go wrong! So skip the dinner rolls and go straight for these biscuits this year. If I had to guess… you’ll never go back!

what you’ll need for this recipe

Butter – Butter is a key ingredient in these biscuits, giving them a rich buttery flavor and velvety texture. I used 1 cup of melted unsalted butter. Feel free to substitute salted butter and reduce the salt to 1/4 teaspoon.

Shredded cheese – Cheese is another key ingredient in these biscuits and the one ingredient that gives them most of their flavor. I used 8 ounces of Pepper Jack cheese, but you could substitute cheddar, Swiss, Colby Jack, or any variety you like.

Sour cream – Sour cream makes these biscuits extra moist instead of dry or crumbly. I used 1 cup of full fat sour cream in this recipe.

Flour – Flour provides the structure for these biscuits. I used 2 cups of all purpose flour.

Baking powder – I added 1 Tablespoon of baking powder as a leavening agent. Between the butter, cheese, and sour cream, 1 Tablespoon is necessary to help them rise.

Salt – Finally, 1 teaspoon of salt brings out all the delicious flavors.
