Blue Ribbon Recipe by

I made up this recipe because I had leftover orange Danish rolls from a tube and forgot about them for about 10 days. This recipe can be played with and used with any type of leftover sweet rolls. Make sure rolls are at least 1 week old and keep frosting on. My husband likes it with a little syrup over it. Serve with fresh fruit it makes a great brunch.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This breakfast bake is an easy breakfast and a great way to use leftover sweet rolls. It uses orange cinnamon rolls that add a sweet flavor to the side dish. Crumbled bacon adds a wonderful savory touch that balances out the sweet rolls. Drizzle with maple syrup for a delicious breakfast treat.
