Ingredient Notes
Please check the recipe card below for a detailed, printable ingredient list.
BACON – I use regular sliced bacon for this recipe. It crisps up nicely while still being easy to wrap around the stuffing. You can also use thick-cut bacon for a heartier roll, but keep in mind that it may need a few extra minutes in the oven to get crispy.
STUFFING – I choose a traditional stuffing mix, which is quick to prepare and full of flavor. You can use your favorite recipe or even leftover stuffing from a previous meal. The stuffing adds a savory depth to the bacon rolls.
How To Make Bacon Stuffing Rolls
Please check the printable recipe card below for more detailed instructions.
- PREPARE – Place a strip of bacon on a flat surface. Press firmly with the heel of your hand to spread the strip of bacon a little bit.
- FILL – Take a tablespoon of stuffing and roll it in your hand to form a ball. Place the stuffing ball at one end of the bacon.
- WRAP – Shape stuffed bacon into a roll.
- BAKE – Place the stuffed bacon rolls on a lined baking sheet. Bake at 375º Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes until the outside is crispy and the inside fully cooked.
Leftovers and Storage
STORE – Place any leftover bacon rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They’ll stay fresh for up to 3 days.
FREEZE – To freeze, arrange the bacon rolls on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container, where they’ll keep for up to 2 months. Reheat directly from frozen in the oven at 350°F until heated through.
REHEAT – For the best results, reheat the bacon rolls in the oven at 350° Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes until crispy. You can also reheat them in an air fryer for a few minutes at 375° Fahrenheit.
MAKE AHEAD – You can prepare the bacon rolls up to a day in advance. Simply roll them, place them on the baking sheet, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to bake.

Recipe Success Tips
FLATTEN – Pressing the bacon flat ensures even cooking and makes it easier to roll around the stuffing.
SECURE – If the rolls tend to unravel, use toothpicks to hold them together during baking.
CRISP – To get perfectly crispy bacon, make sure to bake the rolls on a rack or parchment paper so they aren’t sitting in grease.
Preparing festive dinners requires planning and usually quite a bit of work. Thankfully, this recipe is so easy it won’t add much to your to-do list.
