Stuffing Waffles

An Exciting New Use for Thanksgiving Leftovers

If you haven’t heard of Stuffing Waffles, just know they are a thing, trust me. And not just any thing, but a wonderful thing.

I am all for giving credit where credit is due, but for the life of me I cannot remember where I saw this idea for the first time. I know I did not think it up organically but I did create a recipe of my own for it.

If you believe you are the original creator of Stuffing Waffles, let me know and I’ll be sure to give you proper credit. You should also let me know what you think of my take on it!

Anyway, if this is the first time you’re learning about Stuffing Waffles, you should know that they are a great way to use up leftover stuffing and make a great base for leftover turkey sandwiches. Toss some cranberry mayo in there too!

After making these today, I was also thinking that Stuffing Waffles would be a really great appetizer for your holiday party! Maybe served with a Turkey Gravy Dipping Sauce?

Whichever way you decide to eat these, they are very easy to make. I even used a box stuffing for this recipe.

I was at Aldi and saw a Hawaiian Bread Sage and Onion Stuffing Mix, so that is what I decided to use. Here is the SIMPLE process for making these waffles and a few pro tips.

The ingredients are in the printable recipe card at the end of the post, but it’s pretty simple. All you need is stuffing and eggs.

The instructions are in the recipe card as well, but before you get to it here are a few pro tips:

• Use a good waffle iron. I used a Cuisinart. You want to make sure you use a waffle iron that heats evenly and has a good non stick surface.
• Make sure you have a spatula to lift the waffle off the waffle iron and a cooling rack to make sure the waffles cool and not get soggy.
• A dry stuffing will not work for this recipe. You will need to use a stuffing that is a little on the moist side. If your leftover stuffing is dry, add some melted butter to it before putting it in the waffle iron.

These waffles were just divine. Everyone was delighted with them and gobbled (no pun intended) them up as fast as I could make them.

I am sure they can be used in many different capacities, but like I said, they were just great on their own. I hope you enjoy them as much as we did!
