What do with burgers?

Pink.

Hi blueelephanttrunk,

I would keep them as burgers but then I have a house full of teens/young adults who are more than happy to devour them. Otherwise, what about reshaping them into meatballs? Or using them to make a meatloaf.

These threads may give you more ideas:

What do with burgers?

burgers.....what can i do with 'em?

Left over burgers and sausages(uncooked but been frozen) ideas?

Once you've had more replies I'll merge your thread with the first two links to keep the suggestions together.

I just cooked the pasta as you normally would separately. Fry the onions and mushrooms in a pan with some oil or butter until they're soft/browned. Break the burgers and sausages up into bits and nuke in the microwave (to make sure they're definitely cooked through) then add them to the onions & mushrooms in the pan. Add a carton of single cream and stir and simmer until it absorbs the yummy meat taste and gets a bit thicker like a sauce. Then add pasta and mix all in. Or keep pasta separate and sit saucy burgery sausagy mix on top to serve.

We had quite a large BBQ at the weekend and have about 25 burgers left over. I don't really want to eat burgers forveremore, and we're not having another BBQ soon either - They're all in the freezer at the minute.

Can you think of any recipes or anything different I can do with them other than burgers? I also have a random avacado, I'm not sure who brought it! A funny thing to bring along really I thought ....

- You can make a burger version of "Toad in the Hole" by chopping them up and sprinkling into the batter before you put them in the oven. Add chopped onions if you like those too.
- You could make some gravy, reheat them in the gravy (slowly so they heat through) serve with mash/veg.
- You could chop them up and add them as the meat content of a homemade pizza.
- You can make cold kebabs with them (chop, thread on a skewer with cherry tomatoes, cubes of pepper, onion) serve with a salsa and garlic mayonaisse and a green salad.
- Dice add to a curry sauce and have burger curry with rice.
- Dice, add to cooked pasta mixed with mayo, add some diced cucumber, diced tomato, chopped onion - burger pasta salad.
- stick them on pulse in a food processor and make a cottage pie
- stick on pulse in the food processor and use to make a bolognaise sauce.

If you stop thinking of them as 'burgers' and think of them as a source of cold cooked meat, you can adapt many recipes to create something different (and, perhaps, original!).

Ah good point, are they cooked or raw!? :rotfl:
Although the same principle in my previous post would still count

blueelephanttrunk

Wow, what fabulous ideas!

They are uncooked so I could whizz up and use as mince - I never thought of that! We've got a breadmaker too, and I have mozzerella (another random thing that got brought although slightly more useful than an avacado) so I could make a burger pizza. Sounds lovely! I'll have to go extra hard at the gym then lol.

How about burger hash? We had sausage and burger hash for dinner last night using up some BBq leftovers

Ah, i was assuming they were cooked already. So my recipe is for cooked ones.

I have x10 beef burgers in the freezer and I want an idea of how I can use them without doing the obvious hamburgers n chips, anyone know of anything? Got 4 days before I need to use them as its down for Wednesdays meal on the menu.:)

Mrs_Arcanum

Defrost them & turn them into meatballs before cooking. Or use them inside puff pastry with some veggies.

depending on what's in the burgers (usually mince, onion, egg?) you could defrost them and turn them into a meatloaf, or chilli or bolognaise. Maybe serve with tacos and an assortment of salad and cheese.

Having said that, I love burger and chips occasionally, maybe topped with cheese or onion or bacon or chillies. You could make home made wedges and salad to go with it
