Bacon-Cheddar and Chive Drop Biscuits

I am not sure that I have to say too much about these. They have bacon. They have cheddar and they have chives. They also have buttermilk, and they also taste delicious hot with a big old pat of butter melting on them. YUM.

They also can be made in about 20 minutes (including bacon cooking time).
Not bad, huh?

Bacon-Cheddar and Chive Drop Biscuits, makes 12

In a large pan, lay out the bacon, and cook over medium heat turning often.

When all of the fat is rendered and the bacon is crispy, set it aside on a paper towel and let it drain. Then crumble the bacon.

In a large mixing bowl combine all of the dry ingredients.
