Prep: 25 min. Bake: 15 min.

Yield: 5 Servings

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup shortening
3/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons prepared mustard
5 slices Swiss cheese (1/8 inch thick)
5 thin slices red onion (about 2-1/2-in. round)

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, Italian seasoning and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk just until moistened.
Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface; knead 6-8 times. Pat or roll out to 1/4-in. thickness; cut 10 biscuits with a 2-1/2-in. floured biscuit cutter. Spread each with about 1/2 teaspoon mustard.
Cut cheese with a 2-1/2-in. round cutter; place a slice on five of the biscuits. Top with onion and bacon. Cover with remaining biscuits, mustard side down.
Place on a 1-in. apart on greased baking sheet. Bake at 425° for 15-18 minutes or until golden browned. Serve warm. Yield: 5 servings.
