Indulge in savory breakfast beef waffles topped with crispy bacon and a creamy cheese sauce. Perfect for a crave-worthy morning treat!
Ingredients
- • ground beef: 1 lb
- • smoked paprika: 1 tsp
- • garlic powder: 1 tsp
- • onion powder: 1 tsp
- • salt: 1/2 tsp
- • ground black pepper: 1/2 tsp
- • crispy cooked bacon: 8 slices, crumbled
- • all-purpose flour: 1 1/2 cups
- • baking powder: 1 tbsp
- • eggs: 2 large
- • milk: 1 1/4 cups
- • melted butter: 1/4 cup
- • shredded cheddar cheese: 1 cup
- • heavy cream: 1 cup
- • butter: 2 tbsp
- • hot sauce: 1 tsp (optional)
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high heat. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat and set aside.
- 2 In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and baking powder. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the cooked beef and half of the crumbled bacon.
- 3 Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick spray or a little butter. Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron, spreading evenly to cover the surface. Cook until the waffles are golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
- 4 While the waffles are cooking, prepare the cheese sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Add a splash of hot sauce for an extra kick, if desired.
- 5 To serve, place the waffles on a plate and drizzle generously with the cheese sauce. Garnish with the remaining crumbled bacon on top. Serve immediately, and enjoy the indulgent combination of flavors and textures!
Serving Suggestions
- • These savory beef and bacon waffles are a meal in themselves, but you might want to pair them with a fresh fruit salad to add a touch of sweetness and balance to your breakfast. A side of crispy hash browns or roasted potatoes would also complement the dish beautifully. For beverages, consider serving with a strong cup of black coffee or a spicy Bloody Mary for a bold morning kick.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a toaster or oven to regain their crispness. The cheese sauce can be stored separately in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated gently over low heat, stirring until smooth.
