Last night I did something ridiculous…and I’m kicking myself for not doing it before. It all started with this recipe (AMAZING) and I just did my part to amp it up a little bit more. Here’s a series of photos; enJOY!
Kneading is so calming!
Uh-oh…
That’s right!
Yep, you guessed it…I took the Pioneer Woman’s cinnamon roll recipe and rolled bacon all up in it. And I baked it off, added a sugary glaze, and devoured it.
Ridiculous? Maybe. Glorious? Absolutely.
Just a couple quick notes: I used already cooked bacon…you can cook your own, but I wanted to get these in my mouth as soon as possible with as little mess as possible. Also, I decreased the amount of butter and sugar in the middle of the rolls and added a little maple syrup. I’ve found with this recipe that there’s a lot to be rolled up anyway, and I wanted to make sure every ounce stayed in the roll!
Now go make them.
Hey, it’s the weekend after all! Why not celebrate with a few extra carbs and bacon slices? Sounds like a party to me!
FIN.
OMG, that is absolutely genius! My husband would love some bacon in his cinnamon rolls. Thanks for the idea!
Ridiculous? I think not!
Absolutely frickin genius! Uh, yeaaaaaaaaaaah!!
Didn’t you just do something with bacon….If you’re on a bacon kick, that’s great. My husband will be sending you thank you emails! Love this post.
SO creative. Absolutely cannot wait to try this- thanks for sharing!
My guys would be in absolute bacon bliss. Who would have thought? Okay, so this has been added to my list of recipes to try. Thanks.
good word. totally ridiculous. that’s why i love you. among other reasons.
I’ve been dying to make the Pioneer Woman cinnamon rolls forever!! Rolling bacon up there is an act of sheer genius. You just created the world’s best breakfast 😉
This is sort of ridiculously awesome! I did not think someone could make cinnamon rolls better – and then you came!
Pure genius.
omg, if this had like PB and chocolate too….it might be a bit of a heart attack, but I think that might be worth it! Looks amazing!
Those look absolutely amazing. Bacon+carbs+sugar = I can’t think of anything else I could possibly want. Unless you can figure out a way to add chocolate to them, too. 😉
I cant think of anything better than this. Plain and simply delicious!!
DEFINITELY my kind of recipe! I am so excited about this!
I’m going to print this out and frame it. It’s dangerous and beautiful.
You crazy! ALSO brilliant…I thought my brain would explode when Jessica @ How Sweet filled her cinnamon rolls with cookie dough…it is definitely exploded now! This sounds SO good!
I clearly stumbled over here on the best day ever. I need to go buy some bacon so I can make this ASAP!
Really, Heather? Ridiculous doesn’t even begin to explain this idea.
You. are. a. genius.
That looks yummy. Might have to try this weekend.
Oh my. All the other ideas I had for breakfast this morning just don’t add up to this.
dear god.
Oh. My. Goodness. That sounds really good…
We use that already-cooked bacon in our house, too. I don’t like it as much as regular bacon (is that even the right technical term? Haha!) but it works!
That sounds amazing! I love love love the sweet/salty combination. You’ve made my day!
LOVE! Maybe a little crispy bacon crumbled on top and these would be perfection:-)
Wow. Total and utter genius. I wish I would have thought of it myself! 🙂
Stuffed cinnamon rolls are the next adventure I’d like to go on. Between back and cookie dough, I’ve got plenty of recipes in the blogosphere to reference!
You are a GENIUS.
Best recipe EVER.
I’m speechless.
I’m not big on bacon, but even I think this sounds amazing!
