Cornbread Dressing Waffles with Maple Bacon Gravy are the answer to those leftovers sitting in your fridge after the holidays. They’re savory, delicious, and best of all – they don’t taste like you’re eating another plate of leftovers!
Yes, I did it – and it worked!
Cornbread Dressing Waffles? Really?
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 and bacon-y, but it has just enough maple syrup to give it that sweet component to counter the salty.
And – the cayenne rounds it all out.
Bacon and a little heat make everything so good.
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 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.
