Cheddar-Bacon Drop Biscuits

I know this is one of those sinful items but I cannot help myself. I love them. I don't have them too often but every now and again they are heavenly. (just not so heavenly for my body). They kinda remind me of the kind you get from Red lobster only TEN TIMES BETTER. So have fun add them to dinner tonight the family will think they did something to deserve an extra special meal.

Tips/Tricks

Jennie-O makes a Turkey Bacon and it is quite good I would recommend it in the place of regular bacon. You can find some with a bit of spice to them, I am not sure if they make an applewood turkey bacon or not.
