Every kid (and kid at heart!) will love these cheesy bacon rolls.

Easy cheese sandwiches are rolled up, wrapped up in bacon, and then pan-fried (or air fried) to gooey, cheesy perfection. You can’t eat just one!

Everything tastes better wrapped in bacon!These fun roll-ups are made in minutes just in time for afterschool snacks and movie nights. This is one kid-friendly recipe that will be on constant rotation!Prep ahead and refrigerate, cook just before serving.Pan-frying or air-frying guarantees the bacon and bread get crispy without the cheese melting out.Dip them or dunk them in ketchup, tomato soup, or your own favorite dips.

Ingredients for Bacon Roll Ups

Bread – Regular sandwich bread (white or wheat) is perfect for this recipe. Cut off the crusts (save them for bread crumbs) and roll up your favorite cheese.

Cheese – Choose your cheese! Use cheddar slices or really any kind of cheese you’d like. Soft cheeses like goat cheese and herbed cream cheese make grilled cheese roll-ups fancy as appetizers. Cut them in half diagonally and serve alone or with a dip.

Bacon – The bacon should be partially cooked before wrapping the roll-ups. I find partially cooked raw bacon wraps easier than pre-cooked bacon but I use both interchangably in this recipe.

You can substitute other thinly sliced deli meat like ham, baloney, and sandwich-thin salami.
