Cheesy Jalapeño Bacon Butter Swimming Biscuits

These Cheesy Jalapeño Bacon Butter Swimming Biscuits are super easy to make and are the perfect comfort food. They are great for your next chili night, game day, or get together with friends + family.

My Green Chile Cheddar Butter Swimming Biscuits are getting a glow up! This time, I’m using Tillamook's Farmstyle Thick Cut Mexican Cheese, lots of bacon bits, and spicy jalapeños. If you have ever been intimated by biscuits before you have to give butter swimming biscuits a try. You don’t need a biscuit cutter or to turn the dough out to knead. Instead, the dough is made in one bowl and pour it out in a 9x9 pan with melted butter. Flatten, pre-cut, and baked. These Cheesy Jalapeño Bacon Butter Swimming Biscuits are easy and delicious and are a must-have for your next soup or chili night. Plus, leftovers are amazing for breakfast sandwiches, croutons, or even served with sloppy joes.

How to Make These Biscuits!

This recipe is SUPER easy to make! But, start by preheating the oven to 450°F. Next, we’re going to throw this biscuit dough together…

1. Whisk dry ingredients in a large bowl until combined.
2. Add-in thick-cut Mexican cheese and bacon bits. Combine with a spatula or wooden spoon.
3. Add in buttermilk and jalapenos.
4. Mix until just combined with a spatula or wooden spoon.
5. Once the oven is pre-heated to 450°F. Melt butter in a microwave-safe bowl for 1 minute. Pour into a 9x9 baking pan.
6. Turn dough into the pan. Flatten out with a spatula or off-set spatula.
7. Pre-cut 9 squares with a knife.
8. Top with a sliced jalapeño in each square.
9. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes for the butter to soak into the butter.
10. Use a metal spatula and serve biscuits.

Biscuit Tips

• No buttermilk on hand? Combine 1.5 cups of whole milk with 1.5 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice. Mix and let sit for 10 minutes.
• No thick-cut cheese? Thick-cut cheese is preferred to create an extra cheesy biscuit. However, you can use whatever shredded cheese you have on hand to save yourself a trip to the grocery store BUT hand-shredded or Tillamook's Thick Cut cheese is best for the cheesiest biscuits EVER.
• You need a metal spatula! Since these biscuits are full of cheesy goodness when baked with the butter, the cheese crisps up on the bottom. Truly delicious! But, it can make removing the biscuits a bit tricky. A small metal spatula will help make sure you get your biscuits out cleanly without destroying the glorious crispy bottom on your biscuits. Use something similar to this.
