For the First Waffled Wednesday in our house, I took my husband's suggestion and did waffled cheesesteaks.
Ingredients:
Pizza Dough (I used this recipe)
1 pound ground meat (I used turkey)
1 green pepper - diced
1 onion - diced
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 cup beef broth
1 T flour
1 c mozzarella - shredded
ground black pepper
olive oil
flour
- Brown the ground turkey with the onion, green pepper and mushrooms until meat is no longer pink.
- Add the flour and stir then add the broth
- Cook until thickened
- Plug in your waffle iron to preheat
- Dust the counter with flour and roll a portion of the dough out so that it is about twice the size of your waffle iron you want it to be about the thickness of a thin pizza crust.
- Put some meat filling on half of the pizza crust
- Top with cheese
- Fold over the other half of the dough and roll up the edges (the "top" will be the side where the edges are rolled)
- Brush the top with olive oil
- Flip it on to a plate, pizza peel (or something similar) so that the oiled side is down.
- Brush the bottom side with oil
- Flip it onto your waffle iron so that the top is up again (by doing it this way, if anything cooks out of the edges it is less likely to stick to the waffle iron)
- Close the waffle iron and cook it until the dough is done. If your waffle iron is like mine, you may need to flip it over so that the side near the hinge changes because that side cooks faster than the outer edge. If you need to do that, wait until the dough is cooked enough to be crisp/firm.
- Repeat with the rest of the dough and filling.
Tip: Put the finished Cheesesteaks on a cookie sheet in a warm oven to keep warm while you make the rest.
