Leftover mac and cheese can be transformed into a burger-friendly dish by using a waffle iron. Ladled into a preheated waffle iron, the mac and cheese cooks for approximately five minutes, yielding crispy edges and a tender center. These waffle pieces can serve as a bun replacement or be chopped and added between layers of a burger. Enhancements like garlic powder, paprika, and bacon bits can elevate the flavor, while traditional toppings like caramelized onions can complement the unique burger creation.
Leftover mac and cheese gets ladled into the center of a preheated waffle iron. Much like with regular batters, you just have to cook for about five minutes.
The waffle mac and cheese pieces can then be used in various ways in your burger recipe. Hardened around the edges yet still subtly tender in the center, they're sturdy enough to step in as bun replacement.
Before it goes into the waffle iron, you can always try out different ways to upgrade mac and cheese and amp up the burger even further.
Other popular burger toppings also have a spot, and we're not just talking about tomatoes and lettuce. Caramelized onion is also a great addition.
