Bacon Cinnamon Rolls are the perfect combination of savory and sweet. A new twist of a comfort food favorite, traditional cinnamon rolls are paired with smokey bacon for a super easy breakfast.
Isn’t that just a beautiful sight?! There is nothing I like more than a hot cinnamon roll with lots of icing… except maybe these biscuits…
and possibly bacon!
If you are a little nervous about using yeast and have not yet mastered the technique, This recipe is a good alternative and tastes amazing. Now, I do love a homemade cinnamon roll, but I do not love the patience it requires waiting for yeast doughs to rise.
Scroll down and watch the video and see just how easy this recipe is to make!!
Bacon Cinnamon Rolls
Remember when I made these Bacon Breakfast Rolls with Maple Glaze? Ryder requested them again, but I didn’t have 4 hours to make the cinnamon roll dough. Then, a light came on. For a shortcut version, I used store-bought big cinnamon rolls. Ok, they are not as good as homemade, but on a busy school morning, they work. Why didn’t I think of this before?!
This is all you need: Grands cinnamon rolls and bacon slices.
I used the 5-pack of Pillsbury Grands Cinnamon Rolls. While the oven was preheating, I slightly undercooked the bacon so that is was still pliable. Next, I unrolled the cinnamon rolls and re-rolled them with bacon. Finally, I baked the rolls according to the package directions.
My boys enjoyed this breakfast so much, I made another version, M&M Cinnamon Rolls. Both are simple and delicious!

So we're having a lazy sunday morning, coffee in one hand on twitter with the other and I make the fatal mistake of showing your recipe to my husband. He literally kicked me out of the house to go to the store because he apparently wants.. no sorry, NEEDS these for breakfast! I was about to tell him to go himself but I really want them too and I'll be quicker…Damn where did I put my car keys!
