Step 1:

Heat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and place bacon strips on sheet in a single layer. Bake in oven for about 20 minutes total, turning bacon strips after 15 minutes. When brown and crisp, remove from oven and place on paper-towel-lined platter.

Step 2:

Whisk together the dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a smaller bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, 1/2 cup Marzetti® Simply 60™ Buttermilk Ranch dressing, and eggs.

Step 3:

Add the wet ingredients to the dry, folding together until just combined. Add in the melted butter, and cheese, folding together gently. Do not overmix.

Step 4:

Heat your waffle maker until very hot. Grease waffle maker, then add around 1 cup of batter for thick Belgian-style waffles. Use less batter for standard waffle irons. Cook until browned and crispy.

Step 5:

Serve waffles hot, topped with Marzetti® Simply 60™ Buttermilk Ranch dressing and crumbled bacon.
