🧀 Cheesy Biscuit Bake with Pepper Topping

🧾 Ingredients:

For the biscuit base:

• 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (or homemade biscuits)

• 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or blend of mozzarella & cheddar)

• 1/4 cup melted butter

• 1/2 tsp garlic powder

• 1/2 tsp dried parsley (optional)

For the pepper topping:

• 1/2 red bell pepper, diced

• 1/2 green bell pepper, diced

• 1/4 cup finely diced red onion (optional)

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes for heat

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×9-inch or 8×11-inch baking dish.

2. Prepare the biscuit base:

   • Cut each biscuit into quarters and place in a large mixing bowl.

   • Add shredded cheese, melted butter, garlic powder, and parsley. Toss gently to coat.

3. Spread in baking dish:

   • Transfer the biscuit-cheese mixture evenly into your prepared baking dish.

4. Make the pepper topping:

   • In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté diced peppers (and onion if using) until softened, about 3–5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired.

   • Spoon the sautéed pepper mixture evenly over the biscuit base.

5. Bake:

   • Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until biscuits are cooked through and golden brown.

6. Serve:

   • Let cool slightly before slicing or scooping. Serve warm!
