Description

 

The Maple Bacon Waffle Burger is an unforgettable creation that brings together the savory goodness of a juicy beef patty, the sweetness of maple syrup, and the satisfying crunch of crispy waffles. This burger combines breakfast and lunch into one epic meal, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend)
  • 4 waffles (homemade or store-bought)
  • 6 slices of thick-cut bacon
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 slices sharp cheddar or gouda cheese
  • 1 tbsp maple aioli (optional)
  • Fresh lettuce (for moisture barrier)
  • Salt and pepper (for seasoning)

Instructions

  • Preheat waffle iron and cook waffles according to the instructions or your preferred recipe.
  • In a skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside.
  • Form beef into 4 patties and season with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-fry the patties to your preferred level of doneness.
  • While the patties are cooking, heat maple syrup in a small saucepan and stir in the spices (if using) until warmed through.
  • Assemble the burger: Place a waffle on the plate, add the beef patty, top with cheese, and place the bacon on top. Drizzle with maple syrup or maple aioli.
  • Add fresh lettuce and top with another waffle. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Equipment

Notes

  • For a vegetarian option, substitute the beef patty with a plant-based patty.
  • If you prefer a gluten-free version, use gluten-free waffles.
  • Customize the maple glaze by adding spices like cinnamon or cayenne for a unique twist.
