Cinnamon Rolls with..... BACON

[BettyP]

Oh yeah, you heard right...

Last night a friend posted a link of Facebook to a recipe for cinnamon rolls with bacon. Needless to say, the Boy and I picked up the supplies this morning and we made these for lunch (It's Spring Break). Hubby even came home for lunch...

You take a can of cinnamon rolls and unroll each roll. I used Pillsbury Grands and we got a roll each of cream cheese and butter cream icing ones. The recipe says to cook strips of bacon about 1/2 done and then put the strips on the rolls and re-roll. I think next time I will use microwave bacon, cook, and them crumble over the rolls. It will be easier to eat.

Bake per cinnamon roll directions, frost, and enjoy.

Oh. My. Crud. Monkies.

Delish.

I'm going for seconds now, but had to post.

Baaaacccoooonnnn....

That sounds deadly.  Deadly and awesome.

I didn't need to read this.

I didn't think cinnamon rolls could get any better... and I have a recipe for the sinful Cinnabon!!   I am so going to try this.

My BF said it sounds gross, but I am making him try it anyways.

Yes I do eat vicariously through my loved ones. Why do you ask?

I thought I'd share the love! LOL The Boy inhaled two of them. For some reason, the buns puffed up twice the normal size -- glad I put them in a large glass baking pan (especially since I made two cans LOL). Hubby was dubious at first... He ate three.

We all agree that the buttercream icing was the best, but cream cheese was no slouch.

Must...eat....bacon....

Dear heaven... I now know what you taste like. I am SO making these...

[Molebert]

BACON!

Question: you say can of cinnamon rolls. I've never seen anything like that, only make mine myself. How far made are they in the can? Is it just the dough or are they already buttered and sugared too?

Cause I really, really need to make these :3

I can't stop thinking about these...and I've given up sugar. Jerko 

If you see my ticker go up instead of down this week, you know who to blame!

Wowww...I thought I'd had the best bacon concoction when I tasted beer and bacon ice cream with candied bacon topping.  This...sounds...heavenly...

In answer to a question...

The tubes of cinnamon rolls are in the refrigerated section of the grocery with the tube biscuits. They are pretty much ready to be baked. You pop the tube open, pull the rolls apart, stick into a pan, and bake -- I've been making these since I was 6 and was allowed to use the oven with supervision (Dad was not allowed to use appliances, so Mom taught me early on LOL).

My friend the baker that gave me the recipe is going to try it with her homemade rolls. I expect those to be utterly out of this world. I didn't have the patience to make homemade (nor can I stand that long with my stupid foot), especially with the Boy dancing around in a bacon-induced high.

If you're on FB, PM me and i'll friend you so you can see the photos.

We have three left, so we'll each get one for dessert tonight. I plan on making these the next time I have my steps, but I'll need more than two tubes given that they are teens and act like vacuum cleaners whenever I cook.
