Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine
  • 2 tablespoons instant minced onion
  • 1 tablespoon instant beef bouillon
  • 1 teaspoon parsley flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 cups Bisquick baking mix
  • 1/2 cup cold water

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
  2. Mix butter, minced onion, beef bouillon, parsley flakes, and onion powder in a saucepan.
  3. Heat until the butter is melted and the bouillon is dissolved.
  4. Cool the mixture slightly.
  5. Pour about half of the mixture into a 9-inch round layer pan that is 1 1/2 inches deep.
  6. Spread the mixture evenly in the pan.

Tips & Substitutions

For an extra depth of flavor, consider adding shredded cheese to the dough before baking. If you don't have beef bouillon, vegetable bouillon can be a good substitute for a lighter taste. Ensure you mix the ingredients well to achieve a uniform texture, and let the butter mixture cool slightly to prevent cooking the dough when combined.

Serving Suggestions

These pull-apart onion rolls make a delightful side dish with soups and salads, or serve them alongside your favorite main dish like the Crock-Pot Round Steak. They can also be enjoyed as a savory snack. Consider pairing them with a dipping sauce or melted butter for added richness.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, simply place the rolls in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes until warmed through, restoring their fluffy texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use fresh onions instead of instant minced onion?

Yes, you can substitute fresh onions for instant minced onions. Use about 1/4 cup of finely chopped fresh onions. Sauté them in the melted butter until they are soft and translucent before adding the other ingredients to enhance the flavor.

What can I do if my dough is too sticky?

If your dough is too sticky, gradually add more Bisquick baking mix a tablespoon at a time until you achieve a manageable consistency. Be careful not to overwork the dough, as this can lead to tougher rolls.

Can I freeze these rolls?

Absolutely! After baking, let the rolls cool completely, then wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. To enjoy, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight and reheat them in the oven.
