Upgrade Canned Cinnamon Rolls With A Layer Of Juicy Bacon

In a pinch, canned cinnamon rolls can easily become one of the fastest and most delicious breakfast options. There's a satisfying pop as you crack open the can, and warming aromas fill your kitchen as they bake. Both the speed of cooking and the deliciousness of the soft dough make these an easy choice for a quick breakfast.

While these guys are undoubtedly good, any dish can be elevated if you use a little creativity. For lovers of another breakfast classic, bacon, why not try combining the two? Sweet and savory combinations are a match made in heaven, and this pairing is no different. To combine bacon and canned cinnamon rolls, start by popping open a can of cinnamon rolls and rolling them out into long strips. Now grab a piece of raw bacon and lay it on the flat cinnamon roll strip. Repeat this with every strip, then roll them up together. Place each bacon roll on a greased cooking sheet and bake as usual. Drizzle each roll in the provided icing after they're cooked and enjoy. While this combination is pretty genius, it isn't new. Here's what fans have to say about it.

Whether you crave the subtle sweetness of maple bacon or a thick-cut slab of the smoked variety, any flavor of the breakfast meat is fair game for this creation. After all, it's hard to make either bacon or a cinnamon roll taste bad. If you're still reluctant to try it, see what other chefs and breakfast lovers say about it.

In one Reddit post, a user shared their version of the creation and agreed that they were truly to die for. Other fans seemed intrigued by the idea, but some also expressed doubts. One Reddit user even asked, "Doesn't that violate international culinary laws?" 

In another Reddit thread, one user provided a helpful tip on how to cook the bacon rolls. They suggested cooking the bacon strips before combining them with the cinnamon rolls to make the creation taste extra crispy. At the end of the day, it all depends on how you like your bacon cooked.

The hype for these treats extends beyond Reddit, too. Internet users all over the nation have tried their hand at baking these rolls in all kinds of different forms. From whipping up maple bacon glazes to loading each cinnamon roll strip with multiple pieces of bacon, the creativity from these fans is truly flowing. There are many different ways to make bacon cinnamon rolls, so don't be afraid to join the party and try employing a little creativity of your own.

If you're not a fan of the rolling method of adding bacon to canned cinnamon rolls, that's not the only way you can enjoy these two together. Another common form of indulging in bacon is to use it as a crumbled topping. Instead of rolling your bacon up with your cinnamon roll, simply wait until the rolls finish cooking and add the bacon bits to the icing. To fully incorporate the bacon, you could even mix some bacon bits in with the icing to add a savory crunch to that ocean of sweetness. And if all else fails, you can always enjoy the popular breakfast meat on the side.

Now, if you really want to up the breakfast game, why not add bacon to a pan of homemade cinnamon rolls instead? Whatever method you choose, if you've been struggling to choose between a sweet or savory start to the day, you no longer have to.
