Waffled Cornbread

So, there's this blog... it's written by a woman that I consider a Super-Mom... you should totally check it out. (Click here.)

A while back, I was reading her post about Cornbread Waffles. (Seriously, you have to read it!) Yeah... I was intrigued. I mean, I LOVE cornbread. The thought of making them in a waffle maker instead of baking it for 30+ minutes AND getting virtually all crunchy edges... well, that has stuck in my mind since I read the post.

This past weekend we did a LOT of cleaning and organizing. During this de-clutter frenzy, I unearthed my waffle maker. I was giddy. (No, I'm not ashamed to admit that.)
I just made the cornbread. In fact, I am eating it as I type this. It is soooo yummy!!! I love the crispiness on the edges and the flavor the cheese adds to it. And using cheese as a topping in a waffle maker... Genius!!! (Yeah, Evin is one smart chick!)

Waffling cornbread is sooo easy! I cheated and used a little box of Jiffy cornbread mix. This yielded  three good-sized "waffles".
I used bacon grease  on the waffle maker (as suggested), and I topped it with Monterrey Jack cheese.
I can't wait to try more toppings! I think green chiles & cheese would be awesome. Hmmm... or maybe chorizo! Even plain with honey butter would be yummy! I am definitely going to make these again and play around with different ingredients. I might even try to make some taste like hush puppies! ... mmmm... hush puppies...

Y'all seriously have to try this! Thanks Evin!
