Maple Bacon Monkey Bread Recipe 455

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat the inside of a 9-inch fluted tube pan with cooking spray.
• Mix white sugar, pudding mix, and cinnamon together in a 1-gallon resealable plastic bag. Add the quartered biscuits and shake until well coated. Toss in the bacon and shake well to distribute. Transfer biscuits to the prepared tube pan. Save the sugar-cinnamon mixture left in the bottom of the bag.
• Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in dark brown sugar, maple syrup, and salt. Bring mixture to a boil and carefully stir until it begins to foam, about 1 minute. Pour the saved sugar-cinnamon mixture into the saucepan and stir until dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the melted sugar mixture over the biscuits in the tube pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the biscuits are puffed up and cooked through, 50 to 55 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate.

Steps:

• Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, about 10 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 11-inch oval baking dish with cooking spray.
• Open the biscuits. Cut the biscuits in half horizontally for a total of 16 slices.
• Place one slice in a large bowl. Use a pastry brush to brush the top of the biscuit with maple syrup. Top with 1 teaspoon each of chocolate chips and bacon pieces. Top with another biscuit slice perpendicularly, and press lightly to make them stick. Repeat the process, building a tall stack of biscuit dough, until you're out of biscuit halves. (You won't use all the maple syrup; save 1 tablespoon for the drizzle.)
• Carefully transfer the stack to the prepared baking dish, laying the stack horizontally in the center, and pour any remaining syrup and chocolate over the top. Bake until golden on top, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Let cool 10 minutes, then whisk together the melted butter and reserved maple syrup in a medium bowl. Whisk in the powdered sugar until thick, then add the milk and maple extract and whisk until smooth. Drizzle carefully over the bread and let set, about 10 minutes more.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large skillet, cook bacon until crisp; drain. Combine bacon with cheese and, if desired, onion and green pepper. Cut biscuits into quarters; add to bacon mixture. Stir in butter and toss to coat. Transfer to a greased 10-in. tube pan., Bake until browned, about 30 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving platter. Refrigerate leftovers.
