Can you use leftover grilled hamburgers

[Aerows]

with to make a macaroni, tomato, and corn mix? We have three left over. Will it be too dry?

1. I am a big fan of leftover hamburgers,

but i don't try to make a new meal out of them, I just like to warm them up and eat them like they were originally intended.

[Aerows]

3. I'm trying to do something creative with them before they go bad

Maybe something like a goulash.

5. Well, it's worth a try. What do you have to lose?

I don't know if it's age related or what, but I would rather have ground meat than a steak these days.

I made meatballs tonight that were fantastic, if I do say so myself.

2. Depends on the burgers, I'd say.

I'd surely try to use them. Add extra tomato, if concerned about dryness.

[Aerows]

4. That was my thought

some canned corn, the hamburger meat broken up and some crushed tomatoes along with macaroni and cheese.

On the stove or in the oven.

6. Sounds good.

Stove top would enable you to control for dryness.

7. If I use one of these recipes

that uses ground beef, how do you think I should go with it? Maybe break it up at the last minute before baking it?

8. Not unless somebody squashed the hamburgers to make them cook faster

which efficiently squashes out the juice and does nothing else.

If they were cooked over charcoal, they won't taste like the usual mix, but that's about it.

9. I hate to waste food

and these burgers are from Saturday. If I don't do something with them, they will go to waste. Plus, I could sneak some vegetables in there.

[Warpy]

10. Oh, absolutely

I'd definitely use them some way, even buried in tomato/green chile/onion/garlic and covered in foil and baked to be eaten as (surprise) hamburgers with cooked salsa.

I've just used burgers grilled over charcoal and noticed they changed the flavor of anything I generally used uncooked ground beef in. It doesn't follow that the change was unwelcome.

[Aerows]

11. Here's what I did - I have a medium can of crushed tomatoes

corn, macaroni and cheese. Should I add a can of green beans, or would that be too much? I'm doing all of this before adding the ground beef on the stove.

12. Don't gild the lily, serve it as a side if you must.

[Aerows]

13. I put it in.

I think it tastes pretty good, if nobody else does, they can go to the restaurant of their choice

14. My family

always loved "sloppy joes" made from leftover hamburgers.

15. Sometimes I lay an open pablano, some cheese on top, wrap tight with foil and re-heat in oven, slow.

Works well with some sort of beans and rice dish. Or just as is.

16. I have dogs. Leftover meat is never a problem.
