Make Beef Patty Waffles for a Quick and Easy Burger
Last weekend my boyfriend came home with a bag of ready-made hamburger patties and cheap hot dogs. (Someone brought too much to the picnic.) I was thrilled because I love hamburgers and hot dogs, no matter the price. We had hot dogs one day and hamburgers the next and we still had a lot of leftovers, which was great because, again, I love both of those foods.
However, I tend to get a little involved in making hamburgers. My favorite burger is the thin and crispy burger , but these pre-formed patties didn’t want to break apart well. (I suspect it’s because they were overcooked during the patty-forming process, or maybe it’s just a matter of cheap meat.) Since breaking has been discontinued, cooking speed has become my new goal: how fast I could make a hamburger. , and with what?
Almost as soon as I asked myself the question, I knew the answer. I suspected that my waffle maker , which is essentially a George Foreman grill with extra intersecting grill lines, could cook thin beef patties quickly, and I was right.
I turned on the waffle iron, let it warm up well, and then crushed a heavily salted hamburger patty between two plates. Four minutes later, the burger was done, and while it didn’t have as much browning as a smash burger, it had just as much browning as a classic grilled burger with classic grill marks.

I heated the bun in the fryer and melted a slice of cheese on the top half, then put the waffle burger on top of the bottom bun and sprinkled with mustard and onions. It was not a super burger, but a good burger. The waffle maker provided the much-needed browning on a dull pre-formed patty, and it did it in less than five minutes, making it the fastest burger I’ve ever made, turning a mediocre cut of meat into a delicious and convenient afternoon snack. food. (It didn’t hurt that the meat was free, I love free meat.)
