From the horse's mouth -- here is what the Oxford English Dictionary has to say.

transitive. colloquial (orig. U.S.). to bring home the bacon: to succeed in an undertaking; to achieve the desired victory, result, etc.; (later also) to supply material support for a household. Also to bring home the gravy. Cf. to deliver the goods at good adj., n., adv., & int. Phrases P.7a.

The origin of the phrase has been traced to a telegram sent to the boxer Joe Gans (1874–1910) by his mother ahead of a fight in Goldfield, Nevada (in which he was victorious): see quot. bring v..
1906 Before the fight Gans received this telegram from his mother: ‘Joe, the eyes of the world are on you. Everybody says you ought to win. Peter Jackson will tell me the news, and you bring home the bacon.’
