Mac and Cheese Waffles

I love waffling things. There’s something about the crisp edges, the fluffy (or creamy) middles, and the square indentations. Waffles just work – especially mac and cheese waffles. They sound like a total gimmicky sort of dish, and I guess, in some ways they are, but they’re really, really good. Imagine a lacy crispy cheese crust and creamy dreamy insides, all in a convenient handheld waffle shape. Perfect for dipping or having alongside another handheld type of meat like fried chicken or perhaps, ribs?
