Method

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Form into two patties larger than the waffles and set aside.
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat for 6-8 minutes until crispy. Transfer to paper towels and leave the drippings.
In the same skillet, increase the heat slightly and cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, adding cheese in the last minute.
Toast the waffles according to package instructions, brushing with maple syrup afterwards.
Assemble the burger with one waffle, cheese-topped patty, crispy bacon, and a drizzle of maple syrup, topped with another waffle.
