sweet potato and bacon waffles are the perfect breakfast for dinner meal, or breakfast for breakfast meal, or lunch, or pretty much whenever you’re hungry
I found the best way to get over my stuck -in-a-rut meal planning. I’ve started taking requests. Everyone in the family gets to choose a meal to add to the list.
Stella chooses lasagna, Every. Single. Week. Next to pizza, and pinto bean and avocado burritos, it’s the only dinner she enjoys.
Charlie is like a broken record when it comes to food. More burgers is more better, so I figured that would be his weekly addition to our menu.
I was wrong. The first week he requested breakfast for dinner. Pancakes, eggs, bacon, and berries. Even Stella loved it, which made it my favorite night of the week.
I never expected breakfast-for-dinner night to stick like taco Tuesday or pizza Friday but it has. So I am upping my breakfast game with sweet potato and bacon waffles.
Not only are sweet potatoes good for you (they are loaded with vitamin A, C, Manganese, and Fiber,they are great antioxidants and low in calories) they are delicious. Sweet potatoes can be sweet or savory and I LOVE pairing them with bacon, making sweet potatoes perfect for breakfast, or in this case breakfast for dinner.

For those sweet and savory breakfast lovers ? I’m a sweet girl myself!
I definitely live with a few of thsoe ?
OMG. I love the idea of the earthiness of the sweet potato with bacon. This sounds like an awesome crossover breakfast for me (I’m actually more of a savory breakfast eater!).
I’m a total savory person, but I do like the sweet with savory ? thanks
These waffles look absolutely amazing! I love the flavors!
thanks so much!
I love your idea of taking dinner requests! I always try to get my hubby to come up with some ideas, but he’s never inspired to think about it until he’s famished, lol! Breakfast for dinner is always a hit though – the flavor combo of these waffles sounds perfect!
I wish I would have done it sooner, they are coming up with great options for me ? and it makes meal planning SO much more fun! and YES we LOVE breakfast or dinner too
So in love with this idea! I’m already a big fan of sweet potato and bacon, but to make it a waffle?! Genius!
thanks so much! these have been a new favorite around here for sure
I love doing breakfast for dinner! I let my kids choose a menu during the week while my hubby is traveling and they love to plan it out. Mostly they choose breakfast too. We are huge bacon eaters! I think my youngest just likes to eat cereal…
I could eat cereal for dinner every night of the week ? thanks Jennifer
