The perfect match – sticky maple bacon is an ideal addition to crisp waffles. Make ahead and freeze or to have on hand.

Maple Bacon Waffles
Ingredients: (for 3 waffles, serves 6)
2 cups waffle mix (plus water & oil, as directed)
1/2 pound of bacon
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar

Directions:
Chop and fry the bacon until crisp draining the grease but reserving a teaspoon or two.
Add the sugar and syrup stirring over low heat until sticky.

Mix the waffle batter adding in the reserved bacon drippings.
Heat the waffle iron and fill halfway and spoon some bacon jam on top.

Top with remaining batter and cook the waffle.
Serve with syrup and enjoy!

These are so good and perfect to make ahead of time and freeze. They are so flavorful that I enjoy them on-the-go without any syrup. These savory waffles with sausage, egg & cheese are a favorite too!
