Using your fingers toss the dough pieces with the toppings to distribute evenly

Bake at 375 for about 25-35 minutes~the edges will brown first so make sure the dough in the center is done before removing from the oven

Ingredients
  

  • 12 Pillsbury Grands biscuits*
  • 4 oz bleu cheese
  • 6 slices thick bacon cooked
  • 4 oz pecan halves
  • 1 stick butter

Instructions
 

  • Melt butter in a ceramic or glass baking dish. Cut biscuits into 1/8s and gently roll around in the butter.
  • Top with bleu cheese, bacon and pecan halves, gently distributing toppings on and around biscuit pieces.
  • Bake at 375 for 25-35 minutes. Check the middle of the dish to make sure the inner dough is cooked. The outer edges will brown sooner than the middle will cook.

Notes

    This looks like a fun make ahead treat to take on an overnight boat trip as it would be very easy to bake or reheat at cocktail time.

  2. This looks simply decadent!….My hubby is not a fan of blue cheese (I love it)..would substituting another cheese do well with the recipe?

    Jenna, without even meeting you in person, I’m going to hold you personally responsible for the weight I gain by HAVING to try your recipes. This looks scrumptious. I have printed it and can’t wait to try it. Thank you for sharing, but no thanks for the pounds! laurie

  4. I know I would find something good to eat today on your blog. This is a decadent snack I intend to serve next time our kids are home. Thanks for a new recipe.
