Take your leftover bbq burgers and turn them into a noodle filled dinner that will make everyone happy!
Ingredients
- 1 box of jumbo pasta shells cooked according to box directions
- 4 leftover burgers chopped into tiny pieces
- 2 teaspoons of basil
- 1 teaspoon of oregano
- 1 cup wink, wink of mozzerella cheese
- 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
- EITHER homemade spaghetti sauce
- 2 cans of tomato sauce
- 1 small can of tomato pasta
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of pepper
- 1 tsp oregano
- 2 tsp basil
- 2 tsp parsley
- OR
- 1 jar of spaghetti sauce.
- Your call on that one.
Instructions
- I would say brown your meat, but you don't have to! HA!
- Cut/Break the burgers into tiny pieces. Throw it into a big bowl.
- Add the spices and the cheese.
- Scoop the mixture into the the cooked jumbo pasta shells. Place the shells in a sauce filled pan.
- I am a little weird about this - I like my sauce UNDER my shell. I really don't want the sauce in the shell. I can't really explain why, but I think it tastes better this way.
- Once the pan is filled with meat filled shells, sprinkle some more cheese on top, just to make sure.
- Then bake it at 350 for about 25 minutes, or until it's bubbly.
- If this makes more than you want, these meat filled shells are easy to freeze.
