Onion Cheese Biscuits! Even a Novice can make these!

I impressed myself with these biscuits.  Let me just say upfront, Biscuits are NOT my speciality.  Big Guy does not ask for much.  His one recent request was good homemade biscuits for breakfast.  Sounds simple right!  Took me several tries to get it right.  Very disappointing to cut in butter (a bit time consuming), roll the dough, and take the time to bake the biscuits only for the little shapes to not rise, lack taste, etc.

So when I attempted these for dinner along with our soup,  I was tickled when they rose beautifully in the oven.  And they tasted delicious!  Garlic, onion, and cheesy - YUM!   A great addition to our evening meal.
