Ham and Cheese Bacon Waffle Sandwiches

Oh, these were tasty! It was hard to stop eating them.


I thought about putting mustard on these, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. Somehow the idea of mustard on a waffle didn't work for me.

I baked these off in the oven, but you can also put a little butter in hot skillet and brown them that way.
