Bacon and Onion Dinner Rolls
These rolls are FANTASTIC and always on our Thanksgiving table!
Servings: 32
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. thick-cut bacon
- 1 lg. red onion chopped
- 32 Rhodes frozen dinner rolls
Instructions
- Thaw the dinner rolls according to package directions.
- Meanwhile, using scissors cut the bacon into 1/2-inch pieces.
- In a large skillet, fry the bacon over medium heat until almost crisp. Add the chopped onion and continue to cook until onions are tender and translucent.
- Remove bacon and onions to a plate lined with paper towels to drain off excess grease.
- Flatten a roll with the palm of your hand. Top with a heaping tablespoon of the bacon and onion mixture. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch shut.
- Place the roll seam side down onto a greased baking sheet; continue with remaining rolls.
- Loosely cover the rolls with plastic wrap coated with cooking spray. Let rise in a warm place for 20-30 minutes.
- Bake rolls at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks. Serve warm. Refrigerate leftovers.
These are Lithuanian bacon buns. Not American cuisine, but a short cut of the traditional Lithuanian recipe.
Great recipe, Rhodes rolls really worked out. No Lithuanian bakeries near us, close to the real thing.
Can you prepare ahead of time and cook later?
Hi Ruth, Yes, you can prepare the bacon and onion filling ahead of time. I would bake the rolls off the day of OR the day before you plan to eat. They do reheat really well. Hope this help? Enjoy!!
