Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Combine Bisquick, milk, and shredded cheddar cheese until a soft dough forms.
- Beat the dough vigorously for 30 seconds.
- Drop heaping teaspoons of dough onto a greased cookie sheet.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.
- Combine melted butter and garlic powder.
- Brush the garlic butter over the warm rolls before removing from the cookie sheet.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding fresh minced garlic or herbs like parsley to the dough. If you don’t have Bisquick, you can make your own by mixing all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt. For a cheesy twist, try using a mix of cheeses like mozzarella or pepper jack instead of cheddar. Be sure to handle the dough gently to keep the rolls fluffy.
Serving Suggestions
These cheesy garlic rolls are perfect as a side dish with soups or salads, complementing a hearty bowl of chowder or a fresh garden salad. They pair beautifully with Fresh Peach Or Strawberry Pie for dessert, making for a delightful meal. Serve them warm and consider garnishing with additional melted butter or herbs for an extra touch.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 5 minutes until warmed through. You can also microwave them for about 15-20 seconds, but this may result in a softer texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze these cheesy garlic rolls?
Yes, you can freeze the baked rolls! After they cool completely, place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They will keep well for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and warm in the oven before serving.
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
While it's best to bake the rolls fresh, you can prepare the dough in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just let it come to room temperature before baking to ensure the rolls rise properly.
What can I substitute for garlic powder?
If you don't have garlic powder on hand, you can use fresh minced garlic instead. About one clove of garlic should suffice for the recipe. Just mix it into the melted butter for brushing over the rolls for a fresh flavor.
