A delicious mashup of mac and cheese and waffles, creating a crispy outside with a gooey, cheesy center. Perfect for brunch or a comforting meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked elbow macaroni
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt & black pepper to taste
  • 1½ cups prepared waffle batter (thick style)
  • Fresh thyme or parsley (optional garnish)
  • Non-stick spray or butter for waffle iron

Instructions

  1. Make the cheese sauce: Melt butter in a saucepan, whisk in flour, and cook for 1 minute. Slowly add milk while whisking.
  2. Add cheddar, mozzarella, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until creamy. Fold in cooked macaroni.
  3. Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it. Pour a layer of waffle batter, add a scoop of mac and cheese, then top with more batter.
  4. Close the waffle iron and cook for 4–6 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
  5. Carefully remove, let cool slightly, then slice and serve hot.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, cook the waffles a little longer.
  • Add cooked bacon or jalapeños for extra flavor.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture.
