Bacon rolls were the grand prize at every family gathering when I was a kid. Whenever I entered my grandma’s kitchen, the aroma of bacon cooking would waft out of the oven. Every time she said, “These will be gone in five minutes,” she meant it. As soon as they landed on the table, my cousins and I would swoop down like baby vultures, snatching them up.
These bacon rolls were a huge success when I was younger, and they are just as popular now as I prepare them for my own family. The finest aspect? You can whip them up in no time at all. In addition to being easy to whip up, they call for no special ingredients. It’s deceptively easy, yet it gives the impression that you went to town.

If you want to know why they have been a staple in my family’s diet for so long, I’ll show you.
Bacon Rolling Ingredients
The ingredients for these may be found here:
16 ounces of raw bacon pieces, 1 sliced loaf of white sandwich bread
Two 8-ounce containers of softened cream cheese
1 and 1/4 tablespoons of grated garlic
Onion powder, 1 teaspoon
black pepper, half a teaspoon
I’m done. You won’t believe what happens when those six simple items are combined. Due to its softness and ease of rolling, plain white sandwich bread was Grandma’s go-to. Honestly, there’s a certain charm to keeping things simple, but if you’re in the mood for something fancier, you might experiment with other kinds of bread.

Bacon Roll Recipe
Get your oven ready for 375°F by preheating it and greasing a 9×13-inch baking dish. Greasing the pan was an important step, according to Grandma, since bacon generates a lot of fat during cooking, and you wouldn’t want the rolls to cling.
