Remove the bun and toppings, then cut the meat (including that piece of bacon) into bite-size or smaller pieces and add to the sauce the next time you make spaghetti.

I like the reheat idea with a fresh bun. Would you nuke it in the micro or put it in foil in the oven. I really like my burger pink inside, so I don't want to overheat it. I'll put fresh lettuce and tomato too.

I removed all the onion rings prior to taking one bite. That was one huge burger!

Oh my goodness that's a big burger! What restaurant makes that thing? My husband would love the burger and I would love the onion rings. It could make a meal for 2.

I would probably also heat the meat and a new bun or I might make it into a Patty melt, using bread and cheese and butter the bread and cook it in a skillet like a grilled cheese.

I would cut it up into pieces and put it in the freezer with the other scraps of chicken, meat, and eggs that I bring to the animal shelter to be added to the dogs' dinners.

I'd take off the non-nukable parts, like the bun top and lettuce, nuke the rest just to warm it, them reassemble and eat it. But I'm not that picky - I bet that thing would be delicious even on a soggy bun.

Alisande, best comment ever!

@ravencajun, The name of the restaurant is Sweet Baby Janes BBQ in Hemet, CA. It's a great place to eat. Nice atmosphere, always country music by a band, and a huge smoker out back.

There are about 6 versions of the burger, and they all are topped with the onion rings, which I did share with DH. He chose deep fried catfish which was delicious. The neighbors chose dry rub BBQ. We were all happy. I just took my leftovers out of the fridge. They weigh a ton!!

I'm going to do your suggestion of a patty melt for lunch today, well maybe half with an egg on it for breakfast. I'm late for breakfast due to just finishing my fantasy football draft.

@alisand and Snidely, the only dogs around here are coyotes, and I'm in no mood to encourage them!

I would eat the meat by itself.....or I'd give it to the possums and give the bun to the pig. (Well, that's what I would do....or actually if I didn't eat it at the restaurant and brought it home, I'd probably do it with the intention of giving it to one of the animals.)

I liked the comment because it looks like a heart attack waiting to happen. Is it as greasy as it looks?

The onion rings were crisp and delish. The only greasy thing was the bacon and maybe the sauteed mushrooms. Looking at that burger just now, it must almost be a lb of beef! 2/3 lb. maybe. Doubt I'll order it again. I would have shared with hubby this morning but he hates blue cheese, so it's on me to tackle this thing.

I don't like a reheated bun either. And I've been known to eat cold leftover burger patties as snacks. Could add to soup, stew, chili or a salad. A lot of times if a burger is real thick I'll cut it in half (thickness-wise, if that needs to be clarified). If you did that, your hubby might eat the bottom while you eat the top. Could solve a problem.

seems I'm weird but I love cold hamburger sandwiches with thousand Island sauce and ketchup so I'd probably cut it in half so it wasn't so thick and make a hamburger sandwich with it.

No animal shelter in your area, Suzi? A shame.

Why, thank you, Snidely!

I would toss out the bread and eat the rest of it, nuked, for breakfast. I don't like burger buns to begin with.

Suzi, I may never have another burger again, lol. (I'm sure it's just the lighting or my screen.)

Now that good ground chuck is approaching $6/lb. here, any leftovers from home cooking go into the next day's Soup for Lunch. One market has "Three Buck Chuck" on Tuesdays, so we are having hamburgers more often -- no buns, no cheese, just seasoned *meat*, seared and cooked medium rare in a pan. DH uses ketchup; au jus for me.

SAW's Soul Food Kitchen serves hamburger similar. Haven't eaten one, but love their fried oyster sandwich served with a plastic knife thru the bun to hold everything together

wow

I don't bring home leftovers I don't intend to eat or use for a pet. I would have told the neighbor she could have it the half I hadn't touched. Let her deal with it.

I've seen people take home the oddest leftovers, the last bite of fried egg, a quarter of a grilled cheese and I know they don't have pets and also that they are not anywhere near poor. Just habit or fear of "waste" I guess.

I'm in the cold leftover category, I don't like the taste of reheated meat.

Our shelter doesn't take people food. We buy a big bag of Pedigree once a month and just drop that off.

I would ditch all but the meat. Then crumble it in bbq sauce and put on fresh bun. Or crumble meat add sone seasoning put in a couple taco shells or flour tortillas and lettuce tomato some sour cream and cheese.

i'm with aaa...crumble if it's good meat...
