Ah, yes! You heard that right. Bacon bread. I was a little skeptical at first, but then I tried it and it was awesome. Tasty enough that I had to share with ya’ll. It would be perfect to prepare for Christmas morning.
One of my favorite recipes my mom made for me as a kid was Monkey Bread. I still make it every so often as a treat. It’s perfect sized bites for a snack as I am running out the door for the office in the morning.
This Bacon Bread recipe fits my qualifications for cooking. All of the ingredients are “whole” – meaning they are easy to measure out, hard to mess up.
Pull Apart Bacon Bread
Ingredients
- 1 package (10oz) Bacon
- 1 cup green pepper, chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 “whop-pop” tubes refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (Feel free to use more)
Preparation
Cook bacon until crisp (Don’t burn yourself like I did). Drain, crumble, reserve grease.
In bacon grease, cook green pepper and onion until tender. Cut biscuits into quarters and place in a large mixing bowl. Add cooked vegetables, crumbled bacon, butter, and cheese. Toss and mix well (Have fun with this step, just don’t spill it everywhere).
Spray two loaf pans with vegetable oil. Divide mixture between the two pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
Serve warm. Store left overs in fridge.
This recipe should easily please any bacon-loving crowd and is a great idea for breakfast for the family, brunch, or any party where bacon is appropriate.
Have any suggestions to improve my Bacon Bread? Have any similar recipes?
My niece has been talking about making bacon pancakes so thinking I might make this for her for a surprise on Christmas! Think their is a universal truth that you can never go wrong w/bacon or cheese in our family. Thanks Ryan!
Awesome! I’m sure she’ll love it!
Everything is better with bacon. This sounds fabulous, Ryan! It’s the savory version of my Mini Caramel Monkey Bread. I just posted the recipe at my blog — >http://www.darcymaulsby.com/blog.html
So I am making this today but I am going to up the cheese.. no surprise … and use red and green bell pepper to make it festive!
Would I expect any less? Love the idea of the different peppers.
Well I didn’t get it made, but I will!
OK, Cowboy loves bacon as do I…and this is really pretty easy! It is supposed to get really cold the day after Xmas so this will be a great treat for him for breakfast! Thanks for sharing.
Awesome! Hope he enjoys it!
What is a whop-pop tube of biscuits?
Whoops, sorry that’s what we’ve always called em.
The can of biscuits from the refrigerated section in the grocery store – like Pillsbury
hahah! ok! Thanks! Whop-pop makes complete since! I mean…that’s what they do! You whop and they pop! Love it! May be my new name for them if that’s ok!? And…do you use 3 cans of BIG biscuits? Like 8 in a can?
It’s 3 cans of the small biscuits – the type that come in the 4-pack is what I usually get.
OK! Now i have to make this!
Haha, it’s questions like these that show why I don’t post recipes very often
Thanks for asking!
