Ingredients
- 1
(6-8 oz) box macaroni and cheese
- 2 Tbsp.
butter
- 1/4 cup
milk
- 1 1/2 cups
shredded Cheddar cheese (divided)
- 1
egg, beaten
- 1/3 cup
bread crumbs
Nonstick cooking spray, for the waffle iron
Directions
- Step 1In a medium saucepan filled with boiling water, cook macaroni until al dente, about 7-8 minutes. Drain.
- Step 2Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the same pot over low heat. Add milk and cheese packet and whisk well. Turn off the heat and return macaroni to pot. Add 1 cup cheddar and stir until the cheese has melted and the macaroni is evenly coated in the cheese sauce. Stir in egg and bread crumbs until evenly combined.
- Step 3Meanwhile, preheat the waffle iron. When the waffle iron is hot, spray with cooking spray. Scoop about ½ cup of the macaroni and cheese into the center of the grate and sprinkle with more cheese. Close the iron and cook until golden and crispy, about 5 minutes. Use forks to carefully remove the waffle from the iron. Repeat until you’ve used up all the macaroni and cheese.
- Step 4Serve warm.
