Waking up to savory bacon and cheese pancakes is exactly what you need
The ultimate savory lunch: when pancakes meet cheese and bacon. It's no lie that I love and adore all foods when bacon is added to it. With the addition of bacon, this dish elevates to a whole new level in my opinion.
Now lets talk about pancakes. They are awesome for breakfast, lunch or dinner. I decided to add the usual bacon side to the actual pancake and of course it needed some cheese. I prefer mine without syrup but the rest of my family devoured their pancakes with syrup drizzled all over.
If you have pancakes left over place them in a zip-close bag and freeze until ready to use.
