Make something NEW this year with these Caramelized Onion, Bacon and Asparagus Drop Biscuits. These biscuits add a lot flavor to any meal. Especially my Classic Pot Roast Dinner. Serve these biscuits with a herb butter and you are set for a delicious moist treat.

These biscuits are very versatile. If someone in your family doesn’t like asparagus you can add spinach or chopped artichoke bottoms. Change it up to Mexican by adding green chilies and chunks of pepper jack cheese. Simply perfect and the best part? NO ROLLING OUT THE DOUGH!
