Last night we had chili and cornbread and it was fantastic. Tonight I am using the leftovers to make one of my husband's favorites. Chili Cheeseburgers.
I will make hamburgers as usual, an egg, breadcrumbs, some liquid (milk works well, so does beer) but instead of rosemary and thyme, I will use chili powder (and some cayenne if you like them spicy). I make pretty small burgers because we like to eat them on the little Hawaiian sweet rolls. Freeze the burgers till they are set, then grill. Top them with cheese, crisply fried bacon and hot chili. You will need plenty of napkins.
If I have enough leftovers, my family also like chili fries. I use spicy french fries, but whatever you like will work. Cook according to package directions, top with hot chili and shredded cheese. I like sour cream and chives on mine, too, but the rest of the family does not.
My family knows that when we have chili, I will use it for several meals. Chili the first night, chili dogs (or chili burgers) the next, until it is gone. By the time we are out of chili, we are tired of it, but I try to make the most of it while it lasts.
Enjoy!
