Ingredients
- • Ground beef: 1 pound
- • Salt: 1 teaspoon
- • Black pepper: 1 teaspoon
- • Garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
- • Cheddar cheese slices: 4
- • Pre-cooked bacon strips: 8
- • Maple syrup: 2 tablespoons
- • Waffle mix: 1 cup (prepared according to package instructions)
- • Butter: 2 tablespoons (melted)

Instructions
- 1 Preheat your waffle iron. As it heats, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder in a bowl. Form the mixture into four equal patties.
- 2 Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the beef patties for about 4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.
- 3 Meanwhile, mix the maple syrup with the melted butter, then fold in the crumbled bacon. Add this mixture to the waffle batter, stirring until well combined.
- 4 Pour the waffle batter into the preheated waffle iron, and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions until golden brown and crispy.
- 5 Assemble the sandwiches by placing a beef patty between two waffles. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately for the ultimate indulgence.
Serving Suggestions
- • These Savory Beef & Maple-Bacon Waffle Sandwiches are best enjoyed with a side of crispy sweet potato fries or a fresh green salad to balance the richness. For a complementary beverage, consider serving a chilled glass of apple cider or a robust craft beer to enhance the savory and sweet notes of the meal. If you're hosting a gathering, a platter of these sandwiches makes for an impressive centerpiece that invites both conversation and enjoyment.
Storage Tips
If you have leftovers, store the components separately. Keep the cooked beef patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The waffles can be wrapped in foil or placed in a resealable bag and stored at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm the patties in a skillet over medium heat and crisp the waffles in a toaster or oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through.
