While grocery shopping the other day I picked up a tube of ready-to-cook cinnamon rolls and thought hey, I wonder how these would taste with bacon. As I read the back of the package I was reminded that the rolls are actually un-rolled when you remove them.
I unrolled the first pastry and the length of the dough reminded me of something. Could it be? Yes indeed. Serendipity. The unrolled pastry was nearly identical in size to a strip of Boss Hog’s bacon. This was going to be interesting.
After assembling all the bacon cinnamon rolls I popped them in the pre-heated oven at 425 degrees for about 15 minutes. I then pulled the rolls out of the oven and drizzled the icing upon them as directed.
Right from the first bite I knew we had a winner. The Smaste™ rating alone was a jaw-dropping 51.93. The entire house was filled with sugary, cinnamony, bacony aroma. The taste was both sweet and salty, a perfect combination for a morning pick-me-up meal. Highly recommended for any bacon lover!

That is quite possibly one of the most awesome creations ever. Simply brilliant.

I made these and got rave reviews from everyone who tried them. I used the Pilsbury Grands with cream cheese icing. I know they come pre-rolled, but when I took them out of the package I just unrolled them, placed the bacon and rolled them back up and it worked perfectly. I put the bacon in the microwave for about a minute because I’ve got raw-bacon phobia. Each cinnamon roll takes about a slice and a half of bacon.
These complete me.
this looks great! i’ll have to try it. but since i prefer crispy bacon i think i’ll pan cook the bacon about half way first. then allow the oven to fully cook the bacon as the cinnamon rolls bake. crispy and chewy together in one!

What an interesting recipe to utilize bacon! Great when someone is continuing to think outside of the box when it comes to food!!!
You can buy the precooked bacon. Sounds like a good idea, I love bacon and cinnamon rolls. Why not cook them together!!!!
I have to try this!!!
Thanks for the article.
I convinced my vegetarian girlfriend to try these out.
They are superb and she was authentically jealous.
Cheers.
Thats just cruel man. Bacon is death to vegatarians moral values.
I CANT BELEIVE I JUST POSTED THE WORD MORAL! IM BECOMING ONE OF “THOSE GUYS!!” SAVE ME!! I WAS JOKING OF COURSE, BUT STILL!!
I just made myself some of these delicious cinnamon rolls! And Ive learned if you use the flaky supreme rolls they work AWSOMELY AND you can use 2 strips for each roll :3
Just some info for ya

I disapprove. Keep cinnamon rolls and bacon separate!
Chef GUI knobs on cucumber dick.
You are obivously crazy, and clearly on the wrong website
and by the way, The Beer Wench (3rd commenter) doesn’t know what the hell she’s talking about.
So I tried these this morning, and even after pre-cooking the bacon for a short time and baking them, the bacon just didn’t want to cook. So instead of continuing to cook it, I just picked the bacon out and ate the actual cinnamon roll. I could still taste the bacon and it was absolutely delicious. Maybe next time I’ll go with the pre-cooked microwaveable bacon. Thanks for the great idea!
I just tried this. I made half with regular bacon and the other with maple bacon. I just have to say wow wow whew hoo!! maple bacon and cinnamon rolls is mighty tasty. yum yum eat um up !!!!

I made these for a bacon-themed party and they were a huge hit…I wish I had used more bacon though.
Bacon-wrapped-bacon-cinnamon-rolls are in my future.
What creativity and talent lives in the mind of Mrs. B! Loved the recipe, wish Mrs. B was a single woman! Keep up the great articles, we love them.
Chef Gui needs to be banished to a land beyond reach. Sweet and salty have been in divine friendship for long before your time. You are nothing but a stupid bastard to think Bacon and Cinnamon effin roll would not be a married explosion in your mouth. Stupid bastard.
I do knob on cucumber dick.
Made some bacon cinnamon rolls for dessert Thanksgiving weekend here on Kwajalein… mmmmm! Mighty tasty! And really popular, too!
I wonder how deep frying these would work?
I think this is fake. How could this register over 53 on the Smasteulator when the highest theoretical value is…oh…47?!
For those squeemish about undercooked bacon (and for good reason), what about pre-cooking your bacon as much as you like (crunchy or just under crunchy) and break apart into bacon bits? Save the bacon fat or use it to spread on the cinnamon roll dough and liberally sprinkle bacon bits throughout before rolling back up for cooking the bun? It may be a little extra effort, but when it comes to both bacon-goodness and food-bourned illness badness, isn’t the extra effort well worth the investment?
