Mini Garlic Monkey Bread is made from biscuits and is a great side to any meal. If yeast rolls aren’t easy for you, try these rolls.

MINI GARLIC MONKEY BREAD

Today I’m sharing this Mini Garlic Monkey Bread from the Six Sisters’ new cookbook, A Year with Six Sisters’ Stuff: 52 Menu Plans, Recipes, and Ideas to Bring Families Together.

We have 5 sisters in my family and I can only image how having six could take the sisterhood to a whole new level.If you guys are like me, I’m immediately turned off by recipes with a long list of ingredients.

I’m all about getting it done with the least amount of work as possible while still including fresh ingredients. I loved their cookbook and they have menu plans all lined up so you don’t have to worry about what topair with what. This makes a greatgift.I just gave this to my friend for her birthday.

The sisters gave me permission to share this Mini Garlic Monkey Bread recipe with you today from their cookbook. I had these in the oven in less than five minutes and it always makes dinner more special with fancy bread to accompany it.

You can buy theircookbook here.
I already bookmarked a ton of recipes I want to make.
You start with biscuits tossed in butter, garlic, parsley, and Parmesan. How can you go wrong?

Pile the biscuit pieces in your muffintins.I only made half the recipe for my little family.

Made the garlic monkey bread (for company) Tasted OK, but the butter ran out into the oven,so had a lot of smoke and worry.

  Oh no. That’s no good. Did you make them really big by chance?

These are soo delicious! Everyone at my dinner party loved these! If anyone reading this has the time to add fresh herbs instead of the dried, I think it would take the flavor up a notch and make these out of this world! That was my only regret after making these (I had the fresh parsley on hand!). I’m definitely going to try fresh herbs next time.

This mini garlic monkey bread is my kind of recipe. It’s quick to put together and I feel will be delicious to eat. My entire family will enjoy this monkey bread because they like garlic bread and this is simpler to make. I plan on having it on my Thanksgiving table. No fuss, no mess for a very busy day!

We made these tonight and they are OUUUUUT-standing! We only made 1/2 a batch and even by 1/2-ing all the ingredients there was enough to make 8 biscuits. A definite keeper in our home, thanks:)

Is there an alternative for refrigerated buttermilk biscuits. It’s not available in my country.

  Sorry! It’s a shortcut recipe. Do you have anything like it? You could use any biscuit dough.

  My husband is from Australia where biscuit means cookie and scone means biscuit! They don’t have biscuits in a can either and the whole concept blows his mind. You should see his childlike wonder when I showed him how the can works for the first time. And then the banging the can on the side of the counter to get it to pop open was another puzzled/frightened look. LOL

    Haha. It still frightens me waiting for it to pop!

Burritos are my favorite to go family dinner. They’re easy to put together, and you can freeze any leftovers for lunches during the week.
I can’t wait to try this recipe! It’d be a great addition to spaghetti nights.

My family loves what we call “cheese potatoes”–hash brown potatoes with cheddar cheese and cream of chicken soup and sour cream baked until it’s all gooey and great. Serve it as side dish with roast pork or just throw in cubed, cooked ham and call it good.

Our favorite family dinner is spaghetti and meatballs, with garlic bread and a salad. But the Mini Garlic Monkey Bread would be good with spaghetti. It looks delicious!

This recipe looks fantastic, I will make it today. I have tried one of the sisters recipes before and loved it, it was like a taco casserole. I know I would love this cookbook. I tried to log in and leave a comment so I would be eligible for the giveaway, but after logging in, I saw a question that said, what is your favorite family meal. I couldn’t see where to post my comment, so I hope I am entered anyway. My favorite family meal if cheeseburger casserole. I made it for my kids, and now they make it for theirs.
