Ingredients
Instructions
- Roll each frozen roll in melted margarine.
- Then roll in the mixture of grated cheese, grated onion, and bacon bits.
- Place the coated rolls in a greased baking pan.
- Let the rolls rise in a warm place until doubled in size.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using sharp Cheddar cheese. If you don't have bacon bits, cooked and crumbled bacon works just as well. To ensure even cooking, make sure the rolls are evenly coated with margarine and the cheese mixture. Letting the rolls rise in a warm, draft-free area is key to achieving a perfect texture. For even more flavor, try adding some herbs like parsley to the mixture, similar to those found in Parsley And Bacon Sandwiches.
Serving Suggestions
These Bacon, Cheese, Onion Rolls make a delightful appetizer or side dish. They pair wonderfully with soups or salads, adding a savory touch to your meal. Consider serving them alongside a hearty bowl of Bayou Baked Beans or alongside a fresh salad for a complete meal. For a fun twist, use them to make sliders with your favorite fillings, similar to those found in American recipes.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover rolls can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for about a week. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until warmed through and crisp on the outside. You can also microwave them for about 20 seconds, but this may result in a softer texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh onions instead of grated onion?
Yes, you can use finely chopped fresh onions instead of grated onion. Fresh onions will provide a slightly different texture and flavor, so adjust according to your preference. If you prefer a milder taste, consider sautéing the onions briefly before adding them to the mixture.
What can I substitute for margarine?
If you prefer not to use margarine, unsalted butter is an excellent substitute that will add a rich flavor. You could also try olive oil or melted coconut oil for a dairy-free option. Just ensure that the substitute is in liquid form for proper coating of the rolls.
Can I freeze these rolls before baking?
Absolutely! You can freeze the coated rolls before they rise. Just place them on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. When ready to bake, let them thaw and rise before baking as directed. This makes them convenient for last-minute gatherings.
