How to Win Hearts With Bacon Waffles

Years ago on a Sunday morning we had four mouths to feed and only six pieces of bacon. What a dilemma, eh? We channeled Macgyver, chopped up that bacon and threw it in some batter!

Step 1 of 12

Crank up that fan/vent contraption and fry up some bacon. I only had six pieces, but you can fry as little or as much as you want.

Step 2 of 12

Let the bacon chill on some paper towels.

Step 3 of 12

Use a chef's or santoku knife to coarsely chop up your bacon and set aside.

Step 4 of 12

Gather remaining ingredients and utensils and follow the waffle recipe instructions on the back of the box.

Step 5 of 12

You can use any fancy recipe you want but I use Bisquick because I enjoy eating waffles more than cleaning up a waffles from scratch fiasco. Been there, done that, not worth it!

Step 6 of 12

Mix until just blended.

Step 7 of 12

Plug in your waffle iron and brush some of the leftover bacon grease on the iron. I do this instead of using nonstick spray for more bacon flavor. Keep the iron open while it heats up for one minute.

Step 8 of 12

Pour batter evenly through iron and sprinkle desired amount of bacon over it.

Step 9 of 12

Most waffle irons have a handy doneness indicator light but you can also tell waffle doneness by the amount of steam coming from the iron. If the iron is steaming it's still cooking.

Step 10 of 12

Bam! Open it up for sweet bacon goodness.

Step 11 of 12

Slather butter, syrup and whatever you like on top. Expect endless hugs, kisses and praise from the ones you love. Enjoy!

Step 12 of 12

Feel free to put leftovers in plastic resealable bags, suck out the remaining air and put in freezer. Reheat waffles in toaster or toaster oven for a crispy breakfast that's as simple as cereal.

I do this using the whole strip of bacon, 3 or 4 to a waffle. Amazing!

@George - I find the bacon tends to sink to the bottom of the bowl. It's hard to get even distribution.

Why not add bacon and shreded sharp cheddar to the batter

I can't wait to try that. Bacon is like heaven in my world.

Marybeth Brunson 10 months ago

I make mine a little different I put a small amount of batter in the waffle iron, put whole bacon strips on top of it and ten quickly cover those with more batter. You use a lot more bacon but you get these great strips running throughout the waffle. I can't wait to try your method though.

My family loves this when I spread shredded cheddar on top of the batter with the bacon. Thanks for the bacon grease idea!
