MAC AND CHEESE WAFFLES WITH BACON



Mac and Cheese Waffles with Bacon image

Who doesn't love a waffle, more importantly, a savory waffle? I created this recipe during some late-night thinking, as I do with most recipes that I make. I thought about two things that my wife loves: waffles and a little spicy mac and cheese, so I wondered, "Why not smash them together?" Happy wife, happy life, as they say. These waffles will satisfy at all hours of the day for your partner, friend, family member or even if you're on your own -- but a warning: You'll want to eat more than one!

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 to 8 waffles

Number Of Ingredients 10

Kosher salt
12 ounces sliced bacon, diced
1 stick unsalted butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups whole milk
3 cups shredded sharp yellow Cheddar (about 12 ounces)
2 cups shredded pepper jack (about 8 ounces)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1 pound elbow pasta
Nonstick cooking spray

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crispy, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate. Pour bacon fat into a heatproof container (save for another use) and wipe the skillet clean with paper towels.
  • Melt the butter in the large skillet over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until tan in color, about 1 minute. Add the milk and bring up to a simmer, whisking every couple of minutes, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Add the three cheeses in batches, whisking after each addition, until melted. Remove from the heat.
  • Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according to the package directions until al dente, then drain. Transfer to a large bowl, add 3/4 of the cheese sauce and 3/4 of the cooked bacon and stir to combine. Pour onto a rimmed baking sheet, spread it to the edges and refrigerate for 1 hour. Reserve the remaining cheese sauce for serving.
  • Preheat your waffle iron to medium high. Spray with nonstick cooking spray and add enough mac and cheese to cover most of the iron. Press down hard to squeeze the waffle iron shut (don't worry if some mac and cheese falls out). Cook until golden brown, about 4 to 6 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, reheat the reserved cheese sauce over low heat. Plate the waffle with a side of cheese sauce and garnish with some of the remaining bacon. Repeat with the remaining mac and cheese.

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

For the macaroni and cheese:
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for greasing pan
Salt
1 pound elbow or shell pasta
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon yellow or Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
For the waffles:
2 large eggs
Pinch each of salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated hard cheese, such as Parmesan or Pecorino Romano
Nonstick cooking spray
Special Equipment
Belgian or standard waffle iron

Steps:

  • Make the macaroni and cheese:
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Butter a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. When the water is at a rolling boil, add the pasta. Cook the pasta until it is slightly underdone, checking a few minutes before the cooking time on the package directions. (If you bite into a piece, you should be able to see a very thin core of uncooked pasta.) Drain the pasta and set aside.
  • Melt the 3 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the flour to the melted butter, whisking constantly. Continue to whisk for 2 minutes. Add the milk, 1/2 cup at a time, waiting until the mixture is thoroughly combined before adding more. Whisk constantly over medium-low heat until the mixture thickens to the consistency of heavy cream, about 5 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat, add the mustard, 1 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper, and stir. Add the shredded cheddar cheese a handful at a time, stirring constantly until the cheese melts. Add the pasta to the cheese mixture, stir to coat thoroughly, and then pour the cheese-covered pasta into the prepared loaf pan.
  • Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top and bake until the top is brown and crispy, about 20 minutes.
  • Set aside to cool for an hour, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the macaroni is well chilled and the cheese has solidified (at least 2 hours, or overnight).
  • Make the waffles:
  • Cut the macaroni and cheese into slices about 1/2-inch thick.
  • Preheat the waffle iron on medium. Preheat the oven on its lowest setting.
  • In a small bowl, beat the egg with a pinch each of salt and pepper.
  • Set out 3 shallow bowls. Measure the flour into the first. In the second bowl, place the beaten eggs. Mix the bread crumbs with the cheese in the third.
  • Take a slice of the macaroni and cheese, and, handling it gently, coat both sides in the flour. Then dunk both sides in the egg. Finally, coat both sides with the bread crumbs, pressing the mixture so it sticks. Set aside the slice and repeat with the remaining slices.
  • Coat both sides of the waffle iron grid with nonstick spray. Place the macaroni and cheese slices in the waffle iron, close the lid, and cook until heated through and golden brown, 3 minutes.
  • The extraction process can be tricky. With a silicone spatula, loosen the edges of the macaroni and cheese. Use the spatula to gently pry the macaroni and cheese from the waffle iron and then support the bottom with the spatula while you lift it out with tongs.
  • Repeat Steps 5 through 7 until all of the macaroni and cheese has been waffled. Keep the finished macaroni and cheese warm in the oven.

MAC 'N' CHEESE WAFFLE BURGERS RECIPE BY TASTY



Mac 'N' Cheese Waffle Burgers Recipe by Tasty image

Go big or go home! This burger is anything but simple-a burger patty is sandwiched between a mac 'n' cheese waffle bun. It gets even cheesier with a mac 'n' cheese sauce drizzled on top. Finished with burger sauce, bacon strips, pickle chips for a tangy crunch, and fresh iceberg lettuce, it's a mouthful of cheesy, meaty goodness.

Time 1h50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 27

6 cups Mac 'n' Cheese, prepared
6 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 teaspoon McCormick® Garlic Powder
1 teaspoon McCormick® Paprika
½ teaspoon onion powder
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 large eggs, beaten
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup ketchup
2 tablespoons white onion, minced
1 tablespoon sweet relish
2 teaspoons white vinegar, distilled
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 ½ tablespoons unsalted butter
2 ½ tablespoons all purpose flour
1 ¼ cups whole milk
3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
4 ground beef patties
kosher salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
8 slices pickle
2 cups iceberg lettuce
8 slices thick cut bacon, cooked

Steps:

  • Make the mac 'n' cheese waffles: In a large bowl, combine the mac 'n' cheese, flour, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, cayenne, salt, black pepper, eggs, and cheddar cheese. (If you are using cold mac 'n' cheese, microwave briefly to loosen up for easier mixing). Mix well to combine.
  • Heat the waffle iron to medium-high heat or 375°F (190°C).
  • Scoop ¾ cup of the mac 'n' cheese mixture into each of the waffle divots. Close the waffle iron and cook for 8-10 minutes, until the waffles are golden brown and crispy all over. Remove the waffles from the iron (cutting into individual waffles with kitchen shears for easier removal) and repeat with the remaining mac 'n' cheese mixture. You should have 8 waffles total.
  • Meanwhile, make the burger sauce: In a medium bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, ketchup, onion, sweet relish, white vinegar, and salt. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Make the cheese sauce: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat until bubbling. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, until light golden brown, whisking continuously to prevent burning. Pour in the milk, whisking continuously to prevent clumping. Cook for 2-4 minutes, whisking occasionally to prevent burning, until slightly thickened and steaming. Remove the pot from the heat and whisk in the cheese and salt until melted and smooth.
  • Transfer the sauce to a 2-cup liquid measuring cup and use an immersion blender to blend until completely smooth. Set aside until ready to use.
  • Make the burgers: Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until smoking. Generously season the ground beef patties on both sides with salt and pepper. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on your desired doneness.
  • Assemble the burgers: Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the burger sauce onto a mac 'n' cheese waffle. Top with 2-4 pickle slices, ½ cup shredded lettuce, a burger patty, ¼-⅓ cup cheese sauce, 2 slices of bacon, and another mac 'n' cheese waffle. Repeat to make the remaining burgers.
  • Serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • For a crispier waffle cone, preheat your waffle iron to the highest setting and cook the cone for a few minutes, or until golden brown.
  • If you don't have a waffle iron, you can also make the cones in a regular oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake the cones for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  • To make sure the mac and cheese doesn't leak out of the cone, use a thick and creamy sauce. You can also add a layer of shredded cheese to the bottom of the cone before adding the mac and cheese.
  • If you want to add other ingredients to your mac and cheese waffle cone, such as bacon, chicken, or vegetables, cook them before adding them to the mac and cheese.
  • Serve the mac and cheese waffle cones immediately, while they are still warm and crispy.

Conclusion:

Mac and cheese waffle cones are a fun and delicious way to enjoy your favorite comfort food. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a tasty and unique snack or meal that is sure to please everyone.
