Green Chile Cheeseburgers from smoked brisket!

What do do with leftover smoked brisket? I had smoked a brisket some time ago and ended up freezing what we didn’t eat. Well, you can always make chili with it, but I decided took some of it out of the freezer and after defrosting it, I ground it, then mixed it with some ground beef and some salt/pepper and then used it to make green chile cheeseburgers. They came out quite good and everybody loved them!

I had a little bit of the ground brisket left, so yesterday I browned a little bit of ground beef with some onion and garlic, then added the ground brisket and some taco seasoning and made taco meat for the kids for dinner. It was all quite good!

Hatch Green Chile Sauce

Last week I was finally able to take a small vacation, so I took my kids and the girlfriend to the Texas coast. I’ve got to say, I absolutely loved South Padre! If you’ve not been, I highly encourage you to give it a try – not during spring break of course, unless that’s your thing… I also recommend you give the guys over at Captain Murphy’s a try if you decide to go saltwater fishing as we did. Also highly recommend you give SPI Excursions a shot if you decide you’d like to go Parasailing – what fun!!

Anyhow, today I decided to make some pan fried fish (since we had a few fish from fishing in South Padre) as well as some chicken (because my daughter doesn’t like to eat fish, just catching them!)

It’s getting into Hatch Green Chile season and my local HEB had some freshly roasted green chiles, so I thought I’d make a sauce to go over the fish and chicken.

Turn leftovers into brand-new meals

What can I make with leftover steak?

Use your leftover steak by slicing it and using it to make Fajitas. You can also chop it up and use it to make chili or even put it in your spaghetti sauce!

How can I use leftover chicken or turkey?

You can use the leftover meat from chicken or turkey to make enchiladas such as my Green Chile Enchiladas recipe. You can also boil the carcass to make a base for flavorful chicken or turkey noodle Soup!

What do I do with leftover fish, shrimp or other seafood?

A lot of times, depending on how much seasoning and the type of seasoning, you can use leftover seafood in chowder or gumbo! Because it’s been cooked already, you simply need to add it in shortly before serving in order to warm it up a bit. Just remember though, don’t let leftover seafood sit too long in the refrigerator before using it as it goes bad pretty quickly. When in doubt, throw it out!

Got leftover brisket?

I know, what’s leftover brisket, right? Well, if you happen to have some (which I often do actually), you can make brisket bombs! You ask, what’s a brisket bomb? Well, pick up some jumbo ready to bake biscuits, roll them out and fill them with shredded mozzarella cheese, diced brisket, diced onions and bell peppers, seal them up and lay them on a oiled cast iron skillet or baking pan, brush them with egg wash, then bake them at 350 until golden brown.
