Ingredients
Exact amounts and detailed, printable instructions are in the recipe card below.
BACON - I recommend using good quality bacon. If you are using thick-cut bacon, you might have to up your baking time a bit.
STUFFING - Use your favorite stuffing recipe. My family likes sweeter stuff with lots of dried fruit. But I admit that I have also served multiple stuffings in the past. I always make extra stuffing, because no Thanksgiving Dinner (or Christmas for that matter) is complete without Bacon Stuffings Rolls.
How To Make Bacon Rolls
Making Bacon Rolls couldn't be easier.
- 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.
- 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 the ends of the bacon over the stuffing and roll along the length of bacon until the bacon is completely wrapped around the stuffing.
- Bake the bacon rolls for about 25 minutes until the outside is crispy and the inside fully cooked.
Recipe Notes
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.
TIP - You can serve bacon rolls as an appetizer or as a side dish.
What to do with leftovers
If you have leftovers you can store them in an air-tight container and keep them in the fridge for 2-3 days. When you are ready to enjoy the leftovers, simply heat them in a pan over medium heat for 5-10 minutes.
Make some scrambled eggs and you have a perfect post-holiday breakfast ready in no time.
