Waffle Burgers
We wanted to make burgers tonight but our grill needs a new burner and we could not find our George Forman. I told DH that we should use our Belgian waffle maker instead!
We put the waffle maker on a cookie sheet in case the grease spilled over.
Side view of them cooking.
Checking to see if they are done.
Pulling them off.
You can see how the grease pooled in the waffle iron. I used lean ground beef and recommend you do the same. Keep a close eye on it because it gets very hot! Clean up wasn’t too bad! I would totally do this again!!!
How cool is this! I would love for you to share them at my new linky http://hickorytrailblog.blogspot.com/2013/05/efforts-and-assets-linky-party-1.html

Great idea! I bet the little waffle squares were perfect for keeping ketchup and mustard in the burger and not sliding out the side! haha!

HAHA! Who would of though?? Awesome idea!
Mmmm! I think I need to try this one! I love using my waffle maker to make other things! las week, I put hush puppy batter in my waffle maker. lol
haha – very resourceful. Love it!
Mmmmmmm, meaty waffles! Ron Swanson (Parks & Recreation character) would approve!!
I love using my waffle iron for non- waffle related creations….and great for a rainy day, when you don't want to grill under an umbrella!
Pretty sweet idea! Thank you for sharing at our Pinteresting Party!
I never would have thought of that! I bet they were good! Life to the full! Melissa @ DaisyMaeBelle
Thanks for sharing this at our party, Diana! I can see a lot of waffle makers becoming burger grills 😉
OMG!! That is such a great idea!! I would have to do that for my kiddos' school lunches as well 🙂
This is a neat idea! I have definitely never had anything like this!
I bet the kids loved this? Thank you for sharing on Fluster’s Creative Muster Party!

I'd love it if you link this up to my linky party. It will go on 2 blogs. http://diycraftyprojects.com/2013/04/whatcha-work-up-wednesday-30.html
Nice! Now I don't need to wait for good weather to have burgers, thanks!
How clever are you? Never would have thought of that and I don't know why. Now I have to try it. The mustard would really not slide off all over your fingers!
Thanks for sharing your neat new grill, Diana!

I recently saw tater tots cooked in a waffle iron on Pinterest. Personally, I think it is just plain wrong to use a waffle iron for anything other than waffles.
I am a purist that way.
You are so creative and never cease to amaze me! What a clever and resourceful idea!
What an amazing idea, Diana! I'm willing to try it. 🙂

Amazing!

So funny! Way to be resourceful!
It was a stroke of genius. Mark it down…doesn't happen much!
I would totally do it again!!! I think we need to make some waffle buns first!!
Great Idea Diana!! I'll remember this 🙂
Ha! I never would have thought to use a waffle iron! Pretty cool actually 🙂
Haha! Oh my heck…they look totally disgusting in the picture, but I clicked over because I think it's a GENIUS idea! I'm curious, Would you do it again, or only if you can't find your Georgy? Was the texture still good?
