Waffle Casserole W/ Sweet Maple Bacon Syrup

PRINT RECIPE

Author: Miranda Holman


Breakfast is a meal that once was treasured by families, but now it is almost non-existent. Where families once sat down together before starting their day, has now turned into grabbing a breakfast bar before rushing out the door. In my home, our family still values the family breakfast time, even if it’s only a weekend occurrence.


Since family breakfast time is limited, I enjoy making it extra special. I find that if I prepare food from my heart, that makes my family enjoy meal time together even more. That is why I put so much time and effort in creating the perfect creations for my family to enjoy.


One of my favorite breakfast recipes to make is my Waffle Breakfast Casserole with Sweet Maple Bacon Syrup made with Petit Jean Hickory Smoked Bacon. It’s sweet, yet savory and is perfect for breakfast or brunch. And if you’re restricted on time, make ahead and bake when ready or omit the homemade waffles and use frozen waffles in it’s place.


And could there be anything more mouth-watering than a mason jar of Homemade Sweet Maple Bacon Syrup? Who doesn’t love their bacon drenched in sweet maple syrup?


Grab some Petit Jean Hickory Smoked Bacon, and I promise this will become a family favorite casserole and syrup, for your next breakfast meal together.
