Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese (or American cheese)
  • 8 slices crispy bacon
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 fried egg
  • 2 tbsps maple syrup
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp butter (for cooking burgers)
  • 1 ½ tsps baking powder
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp salt (for beef)
  • ¼ tsp salt (for waffle batter)
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • lettuce
  • tomato slices
  • caramelized onions

Instructions

  1. Waffle Preparation: Preheat waffle maker and lightly lubricate cooking surface to prevent adhesion. Thoroughly whisk dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl to eliminate potential lumps, then seamlessly integrate liquid components in a separate container.
  2. Batter Creation: Delicately merge wet and dry mixtures, stirring with minimal disruption to preserve the batter’s delicate composition. Pour precise amounts into the preheated waffle maker, cooking until edges transform into a crisp, golden-brown landscape.
  3. Bacon Crafting: Sizzle bacon strips until achieving maximum crispness, strategically draining excess lipids on absorbent towels to maintain optimal textural integrity.
  4. Burger Assembly: Strategically layer crisp bacon across the waffle surface, creating a harmonious flavor profile. Carefully position protein between waffle “buns”, transforming traditional burger concepts into a decadent breakfast-inspired masterpiece.
  5. Serving Presentation: Expedite serving to preserve temperature and textural nuances, ensuring each bite delivers a symphony of crispy, savory, and sweet elements characteristic of this innovative culinary creation.

Notes

  • Prevent Waffle Stickiness: Use non-stick cooking spray or butter generously on waffle maker surfaces to ensure easy waffle removal and clean cooking.
  • Minimize Batter Overmixing: Stir wet and dry ingredients gently to maintain light, airy waffle texture and prevent dense, tough waffles.
  • Control Bacon Crispness: Drain bacon thoroughly on paper towels to remove excess grease, ensuring maximum crunchiness and preventing soggy burger components.
  • Serve Immediately: Assemble and consume the maple bacon waffle burger right after preparation to preserve optimal temperature, crisp waffle edges, and peak flavor integrity.
