Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Burger Patty

    In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef patty for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until it reaches your desired doneness.

  2. 2

    Add Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking the burger, place a slice of cheese on top of the patty and cover the skillet to allow the cheese to melt.

    Cook the Bacon

    In a separate pan, cook the smoked bacon until crispy. Drain on paper towels.

    In a large bowl, mix the waffle mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs until well combined.

    Remove Waffles

    Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and set aside.

Garlic Aioli Preparation

    Make Garlic Aioli

    Prepare the frozen French fries according to the package instructions, typically by baking or frying until crispy.

    Once cooked, sprinkle seasoned salt over fries to taste.

Assembly
