Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Bison Meat

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the bison ground meat. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, approximately 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

  2. 2

    Cook the Macaroni

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add the elbow macaroni. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Once cooked, drain and set aside.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In the skillet with the cooked bison meat, add the cooked macaroni and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until the cheese melts and everything is well combined, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Waffles

    Toast the waffles in a toaster or in an oven until crispy. This should take about 3-5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Cheeseburger Mac

    On one waffle, spoon a generous amount of the bison and macaroni mixture. Top with shredded lettuce and place the second waffle on top. Press down gently to secure the layers.
