Dive into the culinary world of “Smokin’ & Grillin with AB,” where the beloved classic is given a fresh spin.

While most of us are accustomed to the traditional oven-baked cinnamon rolls, AB introduces a unique idea: a cinnamon roll casserole, masterfully crafted in a Crock-Pot.

This ingenious approach not only simplifies the process but also infuses the dish with a depth of flavor that’s truly unparalleled.

Here’s what you’ll need:

2 Cans of cinnamon rolls
4 Eggs
1/2 Cup milk
3 Tbsp maple syrup
1 Tsp cinnamon
2 Tsp vanilla extract

The foundation of this delightful dish is built on familiar ingredients.

The aromatic vanilla extract, the rich maple syrup, and the spicy undertones of cinnamon come together in a harmonious blend.

When combined with the creaminess of milk and the richness of eggs, they create a base that’s both flavorful and indulgent.

But what’s a cinnamon roll without the roll itself?

Enter two cans of ready-made cinnamon rolls.

These rolls, once quartered, become the perfect bite-sized pieces, ready to soak up the flavors and become the stars of the casserole.

The preparation is methodical yet simple.

After spraying the slow cooker with cooking spray, the first batch of quartered rolls is added to the bottom.

Over this, the blend of eggs, milk, syrup, vanilla, and cinnamon is generously poured, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated and primed to absorb the delightful concoction.

Now, the remaining cinnamon roll pieces are layered on top.

And for that crowning touch, the icing, once slightly warmed, is drizzled over the top, adding a layer of sweetness that complements the spicy undertones of the cinnamon.

The slow cooker is then sealed, and the magic begins.

Over the course of 2 and a half hours (on low), the ingredients meld together, resulting in a dish that’s soft, gooey, and bursting with flavor.

The anticipation might test your patience, but the end product is definitely worth the wait!

Finally, once it’s done, drizzle a second round of icing on top of the ‘casse-roll.’
