Anyone have any trouble at all on school mornings? You know, getting your sleepyhead kids out of bed, getting them dressed, checking for homework, packing lunches, and then getting them out the door and arriving at school…on time? Shoot! I didn’t even mention the most important part, and perhaps the most challenging, breakfast!

5 SECRETS TO GETTING DINNER ON THE TABLE...FAST!

School days are challenging…no doubt. But they can be made easier with a little planning. These Bacon, Potato and Cheese Waffles are exactly what mama ordered. Packed full of flavor, my boys devour these waffles like there aren’t any more in the freezer…

Freezer Friendly Waffles

But there are! Along with our tried and true freezer breakfast burritos, these waffles are a staple in our freezer. These waffles last for a good 3 weeks in the freezer and just need to be popped in the toaster oven for a quick and delicious breakfast any day of the week.

Waffle Variations

I went with bacon for this batch but sausage, ham or anything else you want to throw in there is just fine. You can make them fresh in the morning (they take under 20 minutes) or make ahead and freeze (for up to 3 weeks!).

Pop them in the toaster on busy mornings, just as you would store-bought waffles, and breakfast is served in minutes!

These waffles can be eaten on the go, for those super crazy mornings, or if you’ve got the time, topped off with yummy Challenge butter and drizzled with maple syrup. Serve with your favorite fruit and a glass of milk and breakfast is DONE. And you’re like, dang, I am gooood!

Challenge Butter is made from 100% real cream. For real. The cows that produce this milk are not treated with the growth hormone rbST. It’s a butter that I feel good about feeding to my family. It’s honestly my favorite butter and I have been using it FOREVER. Kind of awesome that I get to talk about them like, all the time now, because I really do love them SO much!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup refrigerated hash browns if using frozen, thaw and pat dry
  • 1/4 cup Challenge Unsalted Butter
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 eggs lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 5 strips bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 2 tbsp chopped chives

Instructions

  • Melt butter in a medium skillet. Add potatoes and cook for 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, remove from heat and let cool.
  • Whisk flour and baking powder together in a large bowl. Whisk in milk and eggs until smooth.
  • Stir in cheese, bacon, chives, and potatoes.
  • Preheat waffle maker and cook waffles according to manufacturer's directions.

Tips for Freezing

  • Place waffles on a parchment lined baking sheet making sure they don't touch. Place baking sheet in freezer for 30-60 minutes to "flash" freeze the waffles. Place frozen waffles in a ziploc bag and store for up to three weeks in freezer. To reheat, place in the toaster and toast until heated through.

    Is the amount of Baking Powder the correct amount? 1 Tablespoon seems like allot

    Could you sub Almond Flour or Coconut Flour? Would that be a different measurement than the all-purpose flour? Will they still turn out if 2% milk is used (just trying to cut the calories so that I can make your Toasted Raviolis….and eat and entire plate by myself) 🙂

    These look delicious and I plan to make them this coming weekend. Just curious though, as to why these would only be able to be frozen for 3 weeks? I make regular waffles and keep them frozen for several months without any problems.
