Rustic Rosemary Cheddar Bacon Biscuits

These cheddar bacon biscuits with rosemary are flaky, cheesy and buttery, everything a biscuit should be. The perfect dinner side.

Rustic’s a fun word isn’t it? It’s basically used to describe something resulting from laziness except it somehow manages to put a positive spin on it.

Too lazy to roll out your biscuit dough and cut out perfect circles? No problem! Just lump some dough onto the baking sheet, it’ll look rustic.

Remember the soup I had for dinner the other night? Well there was one serving left for lunch yesterday and I just couldn’t handle eating it with another pathetic piece of sliced wheat sandwich bread. Too boring.

So, I made 9 biscuits. And now I need 8 more servings of soup.

Does anyone else do this? I constantly cook/bake things when I have a small craving for something specific and totally ignore the fact that I’m going to have a million extra servings or leftovers afterwards. I’m not necessarily complaining, but it’s getting a little out of hand over here.

Currently on my kitchen counter or in my refrigerator are cranberry chocolate chip cookies, tropical salsa, cranberry almond biscotti, pomegranate bark, sugar plums and now biscuits.

This is one of those rare times when I wish I had office coworkers to pawn some of this stuff off on. Or, I guess I could look at it this way and be thankful I work from home since I can wear yoga pants all day and not worry about jeans not buttoning when I eat all this stuff.

True fact: I haven’t worn jeans since coming home from Florida over a week ago. That can either be awesome or truly pathetic depending on how you look at it. I’ll let you decide.

The biscuits really need no explaining. There’s bacon, cheddar, rosemary and obviously, butter. If you need convincing with that list, I’m really not sure we can be friends.

Rustic, lazy, whatever. They’re delicious. Find some leftover soup an excuse to make them.
