Sprinkle This Cheap Aldi Seasoning Into Your Biscuit Mix For 10x More Flavor

Boxed biscuits can taste a little flat. They're mostly made up of flour, leavener, and whatever oil or butter you choose — and none of those ingredients carry a ton of flavor. But you can turn a batch of boxed biscuits into a garlic bread-inspired dream with a few sprinkles of Aldi's Stonemill Butter Garlic Grill Seasoning for $3.65. It's a seasoning marketed for meat (the brand landed on our list of Aldi supplies worth getting the grill fired up for), but the seasoning blend isn't limited to hearty dishes. It deepens the flavor profile of all kinds of foods — and it turns boxed biscuits into something that tastes closer to bakery quality.

Garlic powder, as a whole, will add a little oomph to basic biscuit batter, but there's something special about Stonemill's Butter Garlic Grill Seasoning. Shoppers say it has a stronger butter flavor than other comparable seasonings, and plenty of garlic powder. It also adds paprika, red bell pepper, and parsley for a dash of color, as well as salt, black pepper, and onion powder for a hint of sweet, mild spice. Use 1½ to 2 teaspoons of it in your biscuit batter to make it rich and savory — and you can increase the amount if you prefer.

You only need two ingredients for quick biscuits – three if you decide to add a dash of rich and savory flavor with Stonemill Butter Garlic Grill Seasoning. There are a lot of different mix-ins that'll take savory biscuits to the next level, though. Crumbled bacon adds an extra oomph of flavor and texture to biscuits made from the box. Use fresh or dried herbs like parsley, oregano, and thyme for a garden-fresh flavor, or create a holiday-inspired vibe with diced sage, dried cranberries, and chopped walnuts. If you're a cheese lover, you absolutely must add Stonemill Butter Garlic Grill Seasoning to your next batch of cheesy biscuits. It brings all the flavors of traditional cheddar biscuits together and adds an extra layer of gentle spice. The seasoning also enriches other types of cheesy biscuits made with Parmesan, Gouda, or feta.

To make your garlic butter biscuits tangier and more tender, use buttermilk in the boxed biscuit mix (chef Boots Johnson adds honey for superior buttermilk biscuits). Just before they go into the oven, brush those biscuits with a layer of melted garlic butter. Brush on another layer after they get out of the oven as well for an even richer flavor.
