In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded hashbrowns, crispy bacon bits, and a generous amount of shredded cheese. Crack in a couple of beaten eggs and season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything together until well combined.

Set your waffle iron to medium-high heat and allow it to preheat for about 5 minutes. Lightly spray the cooking surface with non-stick cooking spray.

Carefully spoon approximately 1 cup of the hashbrown mixture onto the center of the preheated waffle iron. Spread it out evenly to cover the surface.

Close the waffle iron lid gently and cook the hashbrown mixture for 6 to 9 minutes until the outside is golden brown.

Using a non-metal spatula, carefully remove the waffles from the iron and place them on a cooling rack or serving plate.
