Mac ‘n’ Cheese Waffles
I don’t know what to tell you. I had leftover mac ‘n’ cheese and thought OF COURSE I SHOULD MAKE WAFFLES OUT OF THIS. Now you have an insight into my madness.
They are truly amazing, a flavorful treat that combines the Kid’s two loves: waffles and cheese. And if you make Hello Kitty waffles out of them, well, they taste 100 times better of course.
These are best warm and go surprisingly well with maple syrup, but are great all by themselves!
Mac ‘n’ Cheese Waffles
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
pinch of salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
dash of paprika
1-1/4 cups buttermilk (a dash more if you need it)
2 eggs
1 cup Mac and Cheese
Instructions:
In a bowl whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder and paprika. Add the eggs and the buttermilk until you get a nice batter consistency. Add more buttermilk if necessary.
Stir in the Mac ‘n’ Cheese. It will be lumptastic.
Prep your waffle iron according to directions. Using melted butter, generously grease the iron – let’s just say melted cheese is not your best friend when it hardens.
Ladle the lumpy batter into the iron and bake until the waffle is done.
O.My.Golly!
My favorit-est thing right now is Del Taco’s Mac-n-Cheese Bites and I had no idea you could recreate something like this at home without the mess of deep frying them.
You are a rockstar in my book!
I saw this on Twitter and had leftover homemade Mac and cheese in the fridge. I made the waffles for lunch and they were fantastic!!! Perfect recipe and lots of fun to say I made Mac and cheese waffles!!! Thank you so much for the great idea.
I love it. Hey if chicken and waffles pair so well, why not mac and cheese?
Ahhh these are so cute! Starwars and Hello Kitty, u’re like a much cooler version of myself 🙂
Thanks for the recipe. Saw these on “Adam Richman’s travel–best sandwich in the US” show, but didn’t have a recipe. Going to use yours tomorrow.
Yours look prettier!!
