Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 2 hrs
Total Time: 2 hrs 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cans refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Once cooked, remove it from the skillet and place it on a paper towel to drain excess grease. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Open the cans of refrigerated biscuit dough. Separate the dough into individual biscuits. Cut each biscuit into quarters. This will allow the dough to soak up the flavors and create the "bubble" effect in the final dish.
- In the same mixing bowl with the bacon and cheese mixture, add the quartered biscuit pieces. Pour the melted butter over the mixture and gently toss everything together until the biscuit pieces are well coated with the butter and evenly mixed with the bacon and cheese.
- Lightly grease the inside of your crock pot with cooking spray or a little additional melted butter to prevent sticking. Carefully transfer the biscuit mixture into the crock pot, spreading it out evenly.
- Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to cook on low for about 2 hours. This slow cooking will allow the biscuits to rise and absorb the flavors from the bacon, cheese, and seasonings.
- After 2 hours, check the bread for doneness. The biscuit pieces should be puffed up and cooked through. If they are not fully cooked, cover and cook for an additional 15-30 minutes, checking periodically.
- Once the bread is fully cooked, turn off the crock pot and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Use a spoon to scoop out portions of the bacon bubble bread, and serve warm as a delicious appetizer or side dish.
- Enjoy your Crock Pot Bacon Bubble Bread with your favorite dipping sauces or as a standalone treat!
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, you can cook the bacon and prepare the mixture a few hours before cooking. Just store it in the fridge until you're ready to assemble and cook.
- Get Creative: Don’t hesitate to mix in your favorite ingredients! Add some diced jalapeños for a spicy kick or throw in some chopped green onions for extra flavor.
- Layering Flavors: For an even richer taste, consider adding a sprinkle of your favorite cheese on top before the last 30 minutes of cooking.
- Check for Doneness: Every crock pot is different, so keep an eye on your bread as it cooks. If it looks puffy and golden, it's likely done!
- Serving Suggestions: Serve your Bacon Bubble Bread with a variety of dipping sauces like ranch, barbecue, or a spicy aioli for a fun twist!
- Storage Tips: If you have leftovers (which is rare!), store them in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat in the microwave for a quick snack!
