Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat the inside of a 9-inch fluted tube pan (such as Bundt(R)) with cooking spray.
- Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels; crumble and remove extra fat.
- Melt margarine in a small saucepan over medium heat; stir in brown sugar and maple syrup. Bring mixture to a boil; cook and stir until mixture begins to foam, about 1 minute. Remove saucepan from heat.
- Mix white sugar and cinnamon in a resealable plastic bag; add 6 to 8 biscuit pieces at a time and shake until well coated. Pour any remaining sugar-cinnamon mixture into brown sugar mixture. Place saucepan over medium heat and cook and stir until sugar dissolves, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Sprinkle 1/4 the bacon pieces in the bottom of the tube pan; pour in about 1/4 the brown sugar mixture. Arrange 1 layer of biscuit pieces in the tube pan; sprinkle in 1/4 the bacon pieces. Drizzle about 1/4 the brown sugar mixture over the biscuit pieces. Continue layering until all the ingredients are used, ending with a drizzle of brown sugar mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven until biscuits are cooked through, about 35 minutes. Allow to cool in pan, 10 to 20 minutes; invert onto a serving plate.

- Cook's Note:

It was good but the bacon adds an unusual taste to it. NOT bad, but is better without bacon in my opinion

This came out very good, and no dry top at all. I didn't increase the maple syrup, and all of the caramel topping came out with the monkey bread. I did remove it from a nonstick bundt pan at 2...

My dad always made something very similar to this every Christmas, but honestly, I like this recipe better! It is gooey and sweet, with a nice salty contrast from the bacon. I didn’t make any ch...

Made this for Xmas breakfast and it was the most popular thing on the table. Even my super picky nephew loved it. The only change I made was to bake my bacon in the oven (425 deg F for 20 mins) ...

Added 1 tsp vanilla extract + 1/8 tsp maple flavoring to butter/brown sugar/maple syrup pot after removing from heat. Added chopped walnuts with bacon layers

I made this recipe this morning and it was a real winner. In the future I will use about twice as much beacon and/or add crushed pecans to the recipe. The bottom line is this one is a keeper.
