We have seen some intestering waffle usage lately; there has been the 'Wafalafel' (made with falafel and waffle) and the [Taco Bell](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taco-bell-x-yeastie-boys-breakfast-menu) Breakfast Taco, which is a taco wrapped with a waffle. However, this waffle recipe is one that you'll want to store for the next generation because it is infused with [macaroni and cheese](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bacon-macaroni-cheese). The creator added bacon, cheese and scallion into the waffle mix and then stirred in some fresh, already-made mac and cheese. Taking that mix and pouring it into a waffle maker will then give you the finished and delectable breakfast you've been dreaming of.
