I don’t serve bread every time we have spaghetti, but if I’m in the mood for some loudly-proclaimed-expressions-of-love-and-appreciation, I know that some kind of buttery bread will always do the trick.
This “recipe” is one of our favorites.
And it’s quick.
And easy.
A win-win-win.
Ingredients:
One (or two) cans of biscuits
1/4 (ish) cup of grated Parmesan cheese
Half a stick (or so) of butter
Instructions:
Cut the biscuits into quarters using kitchen scissors.
Spread flat in a pie pan or casserole dish. They really need to be a single layer to cook evenly. (In the picture, I had used a single can of the small biscuits, and it spread out while cooking to mostly fill a pie pan.)
Melt the butter in a glass measuring cup. (I usually put it in the microwave for 10-20 seconds at a time on 30-40% power.)
Pour the butter over the biscuits, sprinkle with Parmesan, and stir around to coat.
Bake according the the biscuit instructions on the can, and . . .
Wah-lah!
Yummy, buttery, Parmesan-ey goodness! (I’ve also made it with fresh garlic or a sprinkle of garlic salt when I didn’t have any Parmesan.)
Our menu plan for this week:
Monday – Grilled Chicken and Broccoli
Tuesday – Asian Salad with Chicken
Wednesday – Mexican Casserole
Thursday – Spaghetti squash and . . . grilled chicken
Friday – Out to Eat!!!
Saturday – Pizza Snowballs
Sunday – Home Groups (Someone else is cooking!)

Sounds yummy! We had spagheti wih garlic bread last night. My garlic bread recipe is: buy pre-made garlic bread, take it out of package and place on a baking sheet, heat. 😉
Here’s a great recipe that Pam (an email subscriber) responded with:
I’ll share another easy one, and it’s great!
Use pizza dough mix (it’s the “just add water” stuff), 2 envelopes for
a 9″ x 13″ cake pan, or 3 envelopes for a rectangular cookie sheet.
Stir it up and let it rest for 5 min. or so.
Spread your dough out evenly in pan and precut the slices. (I use a
pizza cutter, but a knife would work as well.) Add your butter mixture
and bake until golden brown. Voila! Yummy garlic bread sticks!
(You can also sprinkle on some dried parsley [or chives, or oregano]
for a touch of color.)
I keep this mix on hand. 🙂
I’m . . . I’m . . . CAUGHT UP! Wow.
Another great recipe, by the way, but I usually also use Kathy’s. You know, since the self-cleaning oven incident.
Thank you for what you are doing. I’ll be buying your ebook soon.
You caught up! Yay!
And thank you!
Thanks for sharing this recipe. Nothing is simpler than opening a can of biscuits and melting some butter. Mama magic!
i bookmarked the parmesan bread. looks delish and something different then either garlic toast or italian bread with butter. i must get some biscuits next month when i go shopping so i can make this. i have a ton of parmasan cheese i got for free with coupons!!

I’d love if you checked it out
Enjoy your weekend:)
I am SO jealous about your canned biscuits! We don’t have them here in Sweden. We have the dry mix, although it is not quite as good as dough with yeast, in my opinion. BUT! I recently learned you can actually freeze dough! So the next time I make home made pizza I will make a dubble batch and freeze half of it, just to see how it makes out.
