Tips For Making This Recipe
Making this recipe is easy when you use refrigerator dough because all the work is mostly done for you. We use Pillsbury Grands cinnamon buns to make this recipe when we aren’t making them from scratch.
If you want to make the homemade version of this recipe, replace the refrigerator dough with our Easy Homemade Cinnamon Buns. You will need to make the icing for this recipe as well.
Precooked bacon can be used in this recipe to cut down the time needed to cook the bacon. We make extra bacon at breakfast to use in recipes and keep it in the fridge until ready to use.
For extra bacon flavor, add some crumbled bacon to the cinnamon filling before baking the buns.
