Bacon Cinnamon Rolls

By Kate Morgan Jackson

Jump to Recipe

I have been bad. I have been very, very bad.

I took a roll of those refrigerated cinnamon rolls – the one that pops open when you pull the paper off the roll. I unrolled each of the uncooked cinnamon rolls into a long cinnamon roll dough strip. I took a strip of bacon, laid it on top of the dough, rolled it back up, and baked it until the rolls and the bacon were all cooked together. I frosted them with the white sugar frosting that comes with the cinnamon roll dough.


And I ate one. The Southern husband ate one. (Well, three, if we are being completely accurate.) The teenager ate one. The dog ate the last bite of mine (she was sitting at my feet whimpering and looking at me with those EYES of hers).

And it was GOOD. Oh man, was it good.

I found this recipe while doing one of my favorite things to do on the computer, which is Googling the word ‘bacon.” Because you never know…and sure enough, I came across this site called Bacon Today. They have bacon recipes, bacon products, bacon songs, bacon videos…they are very serious about their bacon. And amid all that stuff was this recipe for bacon cinnamon rolls. I was a goner from the first second I saw it…it was really only a matter of time.

A couple of notes on this one. I used the bacon straight out of the package, and after 15 minutes in the oven the rolls were nice and brown, and the bacon was cooked but not crispy. Which is fine – in our house we all happen to like our bacon on the chewy side. If you like your bacon well-done, you might want to nuke it for a couple of minutes before rolling it up into the dough. Second, don’t worry if your cinnamon roll dough doesn’t unroll perfectly. Mine came apart here and there, but just mush it back together and you will be just fine.

I think that is all I have to say about this one.

    Oh no….now you are going to be my husband's favorite bloggie posting woman…you combined his second and third most loved things in the universe together. Me being the first of course (at least I'm hoping after 38 years that's the case). Now I'm gonna go to Bacon Today and see how else I can seduce…er…fix for Sweet Man. Thanks, this sounds great.

    so you were right when you said that you are bad. Very bad. If by bad you mean. A genius. I need to start googling random things. What about donuts? I think they'd be a good start.

    Yes. Oh my god, yes. I'm going to have to make these immediately. If bacon works with chocolate chip cookies, then cinnamon rolls are a slamdunk. Excellent!

    Just a note- The Pillsbury Grands rolls work fantastic for these. Sometimes the cheap, smaller rolls don't actually… unroll.

    I have no intention of ever getting over the bacon trend… Although I can't say that the canned version usually makes it into my house, the next time I make cinnamon rolls there will totally be bacon in them.
