LOADED BAKED POTATO DIP - APPETIZER

For our Summer Soiree I made a couple of appetizers for all of our guests to snack on a couple of hours before we had dinner, and this is one of them. This was a hit and I will most definitely be making this appetizer again in the future!

It was very easy to throw together and had so much flavor. I actually made this the night before and just popped it back in the oven, covered, to warm up right before everyone got there.

GARLIC-CHEESY PULL APART ROLLS

Last night I made a copy cat version of Cheddar's Baked Spasagna and we loved it! It will definitely be going on my Pinned it, Did board on Pinterest. I also made these garlic-cheesy pull apart rolls. They were really easy to make and didn't take long at all.

Ingredients

16 oz tube of refrigerated biscuits

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 1/2 Tablespoon parsley

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1 Tablespoon garlic powder 

3 Tablespoons olive oil

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut each biscuit into fourths and place in a large mixing bowl. Add in cheese, parsley, onion powder, garlic powder, and olive oil. Mix well.

2. Place 4 pieces into each muffin cup (prepared with non sitck spray.) I was able to get 8 biscuits out of my tube. 

3. Bake at 375 for 10-13 minutes, until biscuits are golden brown.

So easy and delicious! It took me about 5 minutes to get everything mixed and then about 12 minutes baking time. A delicious side in under 20 minutes, I'll take it!
