In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Use your hands to gently mix until just combined, then form into 2 patties.

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon strips for 6-8 minutes until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

In the same skillet, add the beef patties, cooking for 4-5 minutes on each side. Add cheese during the last minute.

Toast the frozen waffles in a toaster or skillet until golden brown and crispy, brushing with maple syrup lightly.

Assemble by placing one waffle down, followed by the beef patty, bacon, more syrup, and another waffle on top. Serve immediately.
