    Bacon, Egg and Cheese Monkey Bread combines all your breakfast favorites in one delicious pull-apart bread recipe! Perfect for breakfast or an easy weeknight dinner, and a kid friendly back to school recipe, too!

    I partnered with Pick 'n Save to bring you this recipe post, but all ideas and opinions are my own.

    So there's this little thing I'm supposed to be getting ready for - called a rummage sale - and, you guys, I'm totally NOT getting ready for it! It's supposed to start tomorrow, FYI, and we've gotten as far as putting some things out in the garage. And by we, I mean mostly Jorden. Because apparently, I'm way more of a hoarder than I thought I was, and I have issues with getting rid of things. Which, I guess, is the definition of a hoarder.

    So here's how it goes: I decide I'm going to "tackle" a space, comb through it and find all the things we no longer need or want or use. And then I see something that reminds me my kids are getting older - our house is filled with such things - something we clearly no longer need, and I freeze up. Because it reminds me of how quickly time is going, and makes me think about all the things I planned to do with my kids when they were little, and forces me to acknowledge the fact that they're all getting older.....and then I just walk away. Because who wants to deal?!

    Now. I know I'm not the only one who struggles with decluttering. I feel like it's an age-old struggle for moms (and dads) everywhere. I just honestly never thought it would be me! But...I guess that's how life is. Always surprising us, right? So now we have this half-filled garage and so much more we could still put out there and I'm sitting here wondering whether or not we can actually pull this off. Whether or not I have it in me to push through and make it happen.

    To be honest, all I *really* want to do is stuff my face with this Bacon, Egg and Cheese Monkey Bread. It's an idea I thought up during a shopping trip to Pick 'n Save, in an attempt to get creative with back to school breakfast ideas. Seriously - who wouldn't want bread stuffed with bacon, eggs, and cheese? And apparently my kids agree. The first time I made the monkey bread recipe, they DEVOURED it. Which has me thinking - maybe monkey bread can somehow make me feel more okay about the fact that I didn't do everything I intended to do with my kids.

    Maybe all my kids really need is more Bacon, Egg and Cheese Monkey Bread in their lives. You probably need it in your life, too.

    Either way, it's definitely a good escape for now. And you better believe I'll be making a whole lot of this monkey bread throughout the school year. Because if it makes me feel better about life, and my kids actually want to eat it, it's a no-brainer. I think you'll agree!

    5. Add scrambled eggs, bacon, shredded cheese, and fresh chives to the bag and shake to distribute.
    6. Pour mixture into a greased 6 cup bundt pan.
    7. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

      I'm making this. I'm not a huge fan of sweet breakfasts, I always choose the savory bacon and eggs over the pancakes and waffles. I can't wait to try this savory monkey bread!

      A rummage sale sounds like a lot of work but you probably will get a great sense of satisfaction once it's over. I always love how clean my house feels after we participate in something like that! This monkey bread looks fantastic, perfect for a busy weekend ahead! Thanks for sharing!

      We made a state-to-state move a couple of months ago and the purging/sorting was the hardest part. However, it felt SO good once we were done. That being said, I'd be tempted to walk away for snack time if I had this gorgeous monkey bread in my kitchen.

      I had a yard sale earlier this summer - we pretty much emptied out the basement and got rid of ALL the baby things. It was kind of sad but then once it was gone it was freeing. I hate clutter ????
      This monkey bread looks amazing btw!

        They are pre made biscuits that are sold in tubes (cans) in the refridgerated section of grocery store . Pillsbury Grands are one example.

        Hi Becky, I've never tried making it ahead. I'm guessing it would work, but may lose something in the freezing & reheating. Hope this helps!

      instead of the sauce, could I put maple syrup in the pan before adding the rest of the ingredients, or would the syrup burn?

      Recipe said to double it for 12 c pan but did not mention how long to extend the cooking time. Mine has been in the oven more than an hour now. Parts are starting to look very dark while others are still very doughy. No way to tell what's going on in the middle, either. Pretty bummed about this one. I was making it for my students for their winter break party, but i don't think its going to be feasible.

        I'm really sorry to hear this. The baking time would only need to be extended a bit (maybe 10 minutes)....I'm sorry you had trouble with it!

      Delicious!
      However for those with a 12 cup pan, I would recommend doubling everything except the biscuits. I doubled them and it took over an hour to cook and the bread overpowered everything.
      I'm going to try again without doubling the biscuits, maybe just add 1/4 more biscuit??
