Bacon Biscuit Balls Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Fry bacon until crisp.
• Save the drippings.
• Crumble the bacon into small pieces.
• Combine bacon, green pepper and mushrooms.
• Sift together the flour, dry mustard and baking powder.
• Mix bacon and vegetables with the flour mixture.
• Combine the egg, milk and bacon drippings.
• Add this to the flour and vegetable mixture.
• Stir mixture with fork until blended well.
• Drop by teaspoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet.
• Bake for about 8 minutes.
• Serve on wooden toothpicks with any highly seasoned dip.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Drain on paper towels and reserve 2 tablespoons drippings. Finely chop the bacon.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, chopped bacon and chives in a medium bowl. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it is in pea-size pieces. Stir in the cheese with a wooden spoon. Add the buttermilk and reserved bacon drippings and gently mix until just moistened. The dough will be loose.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead 3 to 5 times, just until it comes together. (Don't overknead or the biscuits will be tough.) Roll out to 1/2 inch thick, then cut out biscuits using a floured 2-inch-round cutter. Arrange on an ungreased baking sheet. Reroll the scraps and cut out more biscuits. Brush the tops with melted butter.
• Bake the biscuits until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375ºF.
• Line cookie sheet with parchment paper or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
• Separate dough into 5 biscuits.
• Split each biscuit to make 10 rounds.
• Press out each biscuit half to form 3-inch round.
• Sprinkle each biscuit round with cheese to within 1/2 inch of edge.
• Top each with meatball.
• Bring sides of dough over meatball; pinch edges to seal.
• Brush rounded tops and sides of dough with butter; coat with croutons.
• Place seam side down on paper-lined cookie sheet.
• Bake at 375ºF for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
• Place appetizer pick in each biscuit-wrapped meatball to form biscuit ball.
