Yes, I did it – and it worked!
It’s literally as easy as putting your leftover dressing in a waffle iron and letting it do its thing. They do take a little longer than traditional waffles to crisp up, so keep that in mind. Make sure you grease it thoroughly, and watch it.
The gravy is savory, but it has just enough maple syrup to give it that sweet component to counter the salty. And – the cayenne and bacon makes rounds it all out. Bacon and heat make everything better.
I think almost everything should have a little kick to it. But you knew that.
What better way to use up all that leftover dressing sitting in your fridge? You know you don’t want to eat that shit again like you did a couple of days ago. I know you don’t want to waste it, either.
I gave you a way to transform it. It’s breakfast + brunch + Thanksgiving. It’s Branskgiving.
You’re welcome.

When do you add the maple syrup?
Hello Shea, my last comment was supposed to be on this post. Sorry about the awkward communication. I still want to collaborate. https://tenzotea.co/blogs/tenzo-teachings/the-healthiest-drink-on-the-planet
