I forgot to say that I am always running behind, so I was looking for shortcuts one holiday. I decided to try the pre-cooked bacon bits you can buy now...and they work great! :)

Everyone who had some of this raved! Even the guys at my husband's work who got a nibble from the left overs.

This is DELECTABLE! I used one pound of frozen bread rolls (12) cut in half and butter rather than the oil, and swiss cheese. It was fabulous and my husband and I ate the whole thing!

This has been a family treat for years, and has become a favorite treat when we get together at our cabin. To streamline cooking (and clean-up)I cook an extra package of bacon with breakfast and save the crumbles for later that evening. I also replace the frozen bread dough with frozen rolls... they thaw faster and I just snip them in half with kitchen scissors instead of having to drag out a rolling pin. No stick foil makes for easy clean-up but we never seem to have any left overs!

This one is sooo good! Just be prepared to give out the recipe to all who try. Everyone loves this from my 7 year old son to my parents. The only thing I change is the time it takes to rise. I allow at least 1 hour. Thanks!
