Savory Cheddar Bacon Waffles

We're big fans of BFD, Breakfast for Dinner, but I am sure we are not alone in that matter.  Every once in a while I ask my kids what they want for dinner and they give me an answer different from cereal. 

This last week I asked my kiddos what they wanted for dinner and they said waffles.  I obliged their request, but I did what I often do.  I experimented.  This little experiment turned out quite fabulous that I had to make them several times just to be sure of it's deliciousness.  

I think my favorite part of these Savory Cheddar Bacon Waffles is the crispy cheese edges on the waffle.  However, my husband just loves the combination of flavors.

You must make these waffles for your next BFD.
