National Waffle Day falls of August 24th, 2019 and I admit, I’m a waffle lover. My daughter Shelly purchased me a homemade waffle maker six years ago and I’ve been making them ever since. They’re perfect for breakfast, lunch, and dinner…depending on how you prepare them. You can serve them with a little butter or with a slew of toppings to change-up the flavor.

Chorizo Bacon Waffle with Chili Butter Recipe
Waffle
1 package of chorizo
1 ¾ cup of AP flour
1 tbsp of baking powder
¼ tsp of salt
1 egg
1 ¼ cup of milk
1 full bunch of green onions, diced
1 cup sharp shredded cheddar cheese
8 pieces of bacon
Chili Butter
4 tbsp unsalted butter
1 can of diced green chilies
First, plug in your waffle iron and let it heat up.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the chorizo for about 2-minutes or until it starts to release its juices. Set aside on a plate. Next, fry up the bacon slices, let cool and chop into crumbles.
Assemble your waffle batter. In a large bowl combine the flour, baking powder, salt and egg. Mix slowly and gradually add in the milk. Be careful not to over-mix, batter should be thick and slightly lumpy. Once mixed, fold in the chorizo, bacon crumbles, green onions and cheddar cheese.
To make the chili butter, place the slightly softened butter in a bowl and add the diced green chilis. (green chilies are spicy so you can add as much or as little as you would like). With a mixer beat the butter for about 2 minutes.
To make the waffle, place a half a cup of batter into the center of the waffle iron, close the lid and cook according to your iron directions or until waffle is golden brown. Top the waffles with chili butter, cheddar cheese, bacon crumbles and green onions.
*Also great with slightly warmed maple syrup

I never thought to make this combination of flavors using waffles. My younger son would love this dish.
I like to make homemade waffles with my waffle maker too. My husband and son would like this one but I think it would be too spicy for me.
Oh, my goodness. This sounds like it might make my taste buds very happy, lol.
I am not sure about that recipe but I will try something once. I really like just plain waffles with butter and syrup. Thanks for the recipe.
