Ways to use leftover hamburgers

[MichelleRenee]

We always have leftover hamburgers after cookouts. Does anyone have any fun recipes for using them up the next day? (already cooked)

Chili?

This may sound weird, but I once made omelettes with my leftover hamburgers.

An ex-BF worked at Wendy's. They use their left-over burger patties to make chili!

You can just mash it up and use it for hamburger helper (or hamburger helper-esque home cooked casserole ;)). I've also frozen them, and kept them in the freezer, ready to reheat for a quick lunch or in spag. sauce, helper, etc..

Now I want a hamburger.

Hmmm. The chili is a great idea, although leftover burgers are a "summer" problem and chili is a "winter" food.

I considered hamburger helper, but my New Year's Resolution was to learn to cook real meals, so a part of that was that I am not allowed to make hamburger helper anymore.

My mom suggested breaking them up into my homemade spaghetti sauce. Not exactly the "clever" kind of idea I was looking for, but it works for me!

Now what about those leftover hot dogs?? (j/k)

Cheeseburger macaroni--just crumble them and mix it up with some cooked mac & cheese. Homemade works, but it's also especially good with Stouffer's frozen mac & cheese!

Spaghetti sauce is a good idea too. How about sloppy joes, burritos or enchiladas?

Hot dogs you can use with macaroni and cheese.

How about this recipe? You could just crumble up the burgers and use it as called for! When I make this, I'll often add tomato and chopped green pepper for extra flavor.

Impossible Cheeseburger Pie

1 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef
1 large onion, chopped (1 cup)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (4 oz)
1/2 cup Original Bisquick® mix
1 cup milk
2 eggs


1. Heat oven to 400°F. Spray 9-inch glass pie plate with cooking spray.
2. In 10-inch skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is brown; drain. Stir in salt. Spread in pie plate. Sprinkle with cheese.
3. In small bowl, stir remaining ingredients with fork or wire whisk until blended. Pour into pie plate.
4. Bake about 25 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.

oh i just thought of something......you could crumble the leftover hamburgers and mix with taco powder and have taco/nacho bar. mmm..taco bell sounds good right now

I am very uncreative--I just freeze them and eat them as burgers for lunch. Beats the heck out of Mickey D's.
