Recipes to use up leftover grilled hamburgers?
Now that the 4th of July has passed, we have about 20 leftover hamburgers from our cookout that have already been grilled. Does anyone have a way to use up these leftovers aside from eating more cheeseburgers? I tried googling, but didn't turn up much. Thanks in advance!
Answers: 1) You could individually wrap some hamburgers in plastic wrap and then place in a freezer baggie and put into freezer. They will keep for up to 4 months. That way when you feel like a grilled burger, without the work, you just thaw in the fridge and reheat in the micro until steaming.
2) Try breaking up the hamburger and adding to a jar of spaghetti sauce and mixing in some cooked pasta, toss together well and pour into serving bowls, top with some shredded mozzarella.
3)Salisbury Steak
4 leftover beef patties
3 tbsp. flour
2 T butter
1 cup beef broth
1 onion, sliced
1 package of fresh mushroom, cleaned and sliced
1 T Worcestershire sauce
Coat each side of patties well with flour. Cook patties in butter in a large skillet until brown on both slides. Drain fat. Add beef broth, onion, mushrooms and Worcestershire sauce to pan. Stir to blend, coating meat. Cover and simmer gently, about 25 minutes or until fork-tender. Serve with garlic mashed potatoes.
5) Paula Dean put a slice of cheese on top then wrapped them individaully in puff pastry dough and baked until brown. I brushed the pastry with an egg wash for a prettier presentation.
6) Crumble it up, add some taco seasoning and a little water/salsa to make a sauce and fill tortillas for burritos or tacos.
7) Look at the following recipes, many call for diced leftover meat, I would just cube up the hamburger and use that:

Anyway, good luck, hope I helped some! Just chop them up into bite sized pieces and add to a chunky spaghetti sauce or make a veggie beef stock and have beef and noodle soup. Slice into strips and mix in with spicy onions and peppers for a quick beef fajita. Buy some large corn tortillas and prepare tacos for everyone. I think you might need some help eating all of those hamburgers, so invite some friends over.
Slice the burgers and heat in a pan with some olive oil.
Serve with chopped onion, chopped cilantro, chopped tomatoes. You can liven it up with some fresh chopped pineapple (yes, Pineapple!) and some hot chile pepper sauce. Enjoy! This will offend many Italian chefs, but rather than waste the meat, chop it up and heat it in tomato sauce for pasta. Other than that, give it to the dog as a nice treat. I throw everything in a frying pan. If it's left over meat, then I goes in the frying pan with rice and veggies.
You could also add cream of _______ soup to the mix and cook it up that way too. Either way it's a leftover killer. Sloppy Joe's
(1part bbq sauce 2parts ketchup) or pre canned at grocery chop them in small pieces and make them in a casserole of your choice or any pasta with meat* sauce Any recipe that uses browned ground beef should be fine. Spaghetti, tacos, hamburger helper and sloppy joes to name a few.
jj use it as it is chop meat just cooked
make chili
tacos
soups
sloppy joes
with spagetti sauce
Or take a premade pizza crust and open it and put some chopmeat in it and then spagetti sauce and mozz. cheese and close up and bake in oven till bread it cooked accoring to directions on packages
stuffed cabbage
stuffed peppers
taco soup
You can do tons with it hope this helps as well as the spaghetti sauce and tacos, you can crumble them and make a super taco salad
or crumble and add them to a stir fry
they will also freeze well and can be reheated a couple at a time in the microwave--either as is or as part of a sauce ohhhhh man....
take 1 quart of burgundy and 1 quart of water, add 3 packets of lipton's french onion soup mix... cut 8 carrots into medallions and cut 12 celery stalks into 1 inch chunks, large dice 4 onions and throw in the deep baking dish with your broth...add a handful of fresh rosemary/oregano/thyme and a handful of crushed garlic. quarter up the burgers and throw them in...bake the dish, covered 6-8 hours at 300 degrees
make a nice brown roux with clarified butter and flour...cook it slowly stirring often!!! do not burn it or you will ruin your sauce!
when you pull the burgers from the oven, strain the broth into a sauce pan and bring to a boil...slowly whisk in the roux bit by bit till you have a nappe consistency...if you over tighten, thin it with water.
now stir everything together, serve on rice or noodles and prepare for people to worship you!!! I'd say make chili, use it in hamburger helper, use it as meatballs in spaghetti or pasta sauce, chop it up in salad or taco salad, puree it and use it as a dip for tortilla chips, make tacos, crumble and use in flour tortillas, cut up and use in taco dip ( Just chop it up, put in a pan topped with sour cream, cream cheese, and cheese, yum! ) make a meatpie, casserole, soup, chowder, sheperds pie, use it in rice, macaroni, crumble over mash potatoes and gravy, sloppy joes, make hobo hash ( chop up with potatoes, onion, butter, etc, and serve for breakfast ), use in omletes, pur it in beans, use it as a topping on pizza.
Hope this helps! slice potatoes onion canned soup like mushroom etc.. add milk onion crumble up up hamburger can add cheese sour cream etc put in baking dish bake on 375 until bubbly
