Shortcut Bacon Cheese Rolls
A personal tip: Use pre-cooked bacon to save time. Sometimes, I sprinkle a little garlic powder over the top before baking for a subtle boost of flavor. You can also make these using your favorite yeast dough recipe or start with pre-made bread, which reduces the prep time.

🤔Versatile
You’ll like this recipe because it’s simple and flexible. You can use canned crescent rolls, biscuit dough, or refrigerated pizza dough. Cheddar is the go-to, but Swiss, pepper jack, or mozzarella work, too. If you’re short on bacon, a bit of ham or cooked sausage can be substituted. For a meat-free version, try chopped mushrooms or caramelized onions.
Bacon and Cheddar Rolls
It all started with these Pepperoni Rolls. They spoiled me; they were too easy! As Ryder was eating the Pepperoni Rolls, he suggested that we try bacon in them next time. Sometimes, it’s a blessing to have two foodie children; sometimes, specifically when they critique every single dish, it’s not fun to have foodie children. Per his suggestion, I did try bacon and cheddar. They were fab. I think I liked them better than the Pepperoni Rolls.

I use to have left overs in my fridge until I had to throw them out. But I started making my own pizza/bread dough and I started making my own hot pockets. And now I hardly throw food away anymore. My family loves them. They are so easy to do you can even use frozen or refrigerated dough to make them.
