Ingredients

2

tablespoons butter, melted
1/4

teaspoon garlic powder
1

can (11 oz) Pillsbury™ refrigerated cornbread swirls
6

slices (0.8 oz each) pepper Jack cheese (from 8-oz package)
12

slices cooked bacon

Steps

1

Heat oven to 375°F. Line 9-inch round cake pan with cooking parchment paper. In small bowl, mix melted butter and garlic powder.
2

Remove dough from can, and separate into 6 rounds. Unroll each round into dough strip (about 12 inches long); brush inside of each unrolled dough strip, using up half of the melted butter mixture.
3

Cut each cheese slice into 4 strips. Top buttered side of dough strip with 4 cheese strips, overlapping slightly if necessary, and leaving 1/2 inch of one end uncovered to seal. Top cheese layer with 2 bacon slices.
4

Starting with strip end opposite uncovered end, roll dough back tightly into swirled round, sealing end of dough; place in pan. Repeat for remaining dough, cheese and bacon. Brush tops of dough with remaining melted butter mixture.
5

Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until dough is baked through and golden brown.

Line the pan with cooking parchment paper for easier cleanup. If you don’t have parchment paper, you can spray the pan generously with cooking spray.
Substitute sharp cheddar cheese for the pepper Jack cheese for a delicious flavor twist.
Microwave-ready bacon is great to use since it’s quick and easy to cook. Regular cooked bacon can also be used in this recipe.
If desired, top with thinly sliced green onion before serving.
