WOW! Bacon, Cheese & Onion Biscuits . . . YUM!!

Bacon, Cheese and Onion Biscuits

• 2 cups All-purpose Flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
• ¾ teaspoons Salt
• ¼ cups Vegetable Shortening (Crisco, Etc)
• 10 Tablespoons Milk (whole Milk Is Best)
• 4 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
• 1 whole Egg
• 5 slices bacon, fried crisp and crumbled
• 1 cup Finely Diced Onion
• 1 cup shredded cheese (I used jack, but suppose that Sharp Cheddar Cheese would be super tasty)

Fry bacon until crisp. Drain on paper towel. Pour out all but about 1 tablespoon bacon grease (reserve in fridge for refried beans!). Saute onion until golden and soft. Set aside to cool. Crumble bacon.  Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry cutter, cut in shortening until all combined. Combine milk, oil, and egg in a separate bowl. Whisk together.  Combine flour mixture, milk mixture, bacon, onions, and cheese in a large bowl. Stir gently until all combined.  Spoon batter into greased muffin tins. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes on 375 degrees until golden. Serve warm.
