Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 3/4 cups buttermilk
  • 8 tablespoons melted butter 1/2 cup
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning blend
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 cups prepared macaroni and cheese + more for topping if desired
  • Hot sauce for serving

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat together the eggs, buttermilk and melted butter.
  • In a separate bowl whisk together the dry ingredients.
  • Combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring just until nearly smooth; it’s OK if it is still lumpy.
  • Stir in the macaroni and cheese.
  • Spray your waffle iron with a non-stick cooking spray and preheat it according to your model’s instructions.
  • Pour in the cheesy waffle mix as needed and cook 2-4 minutes, until cooked to your desired brownness.
  • Remove and set onto a plate. Top with extra warmed mac and cheese and/or hot sauce.
