Description
Okay, so picture this: buttery, garlicky bread meets crispy bacon in the most perfect marriage of carbs and pork that ever existed. These Garlic Butter Bacon Rollups are basically what happens when garlic bread gets a serious upgrade and decides to wrap itself around bacon like a warm, delicious hug. We’re talking soft, pillowy bread rolls stuffed with crispy bacon bits, then slathered in the most incredible garlic butter mixture and baked until golden and gorgeous. It’s comfort food meets finger food meets “holy crap, I can’t stop eating these.” Fair warning: you’re going to want to hide a few from your family because these disappear faster than you can say “pass the butter.” My teenage nephew ate six of them before dinner even started. SIX.
Ingredients
For the Rollups:
- 1 tube (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (the flaky kind works best)
- 8 strips bacon, cooked crispy and crumbled
- 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (optional but recommended)
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
For the Garlic Butter Magic:
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder if you’re lazy)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
For the Topping:
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- Extra parsley for garnish
- Flaky sea salt for finishing
Instructions
Cook bacon until crispy (however you like — pan, oven, whatever works).
Drain on paper towels and crumble into bite-sized pieces. Try not to eat half of it while you work.
Mix melted butter with minced garlic, parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Stir it up and let those flavors get acquainted while you work on the dough.
Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Separate biscuit dough and gently roll each piece into a 4-inch circle (don’t stress about perfection).
Brush each circle with about half the garlic butter mixture.
Sprinkle bacon crumbles, cheese (if using), and green onions over each circle.
Roll up tightly from one side, pinch the seam closed, and place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
Brush the tops with remaining garlic butter mixture.
Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and puffed up.
Let cool for 2-3 minutes, then sprinkle with fresh parsley and a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt.
Serve immediately while they’re still warm and magical.
Notes
Perfect alongside a big bowl of tomato soup for the ultimate comfort combo.
Serve as appetizers with ranch or marinara dipping sauce.
Great with scrambled eggs for a next-level breakfast situation.
