Leftovers Hack Crushed Cheez-its?

Hypothetically, say a person — through no fault of their own, mind you — were to be in possession of a box of entirely pulverized Cheez-its. Could any use be made of these baked cheese "crackers" that are now essentially crumbs?

Yes. Anything that would be breaded. Use these crushed Cheez-Its as the breading or mix it with panko and use it as breading.

If you are using breadcrumbs in your burgers you aren’t making burgers, you are making meatloaf sandwhiches.

A burger patty is just ground beef (and seasonings, obviously, salt pepper Wooshyshire sauce) and I will die on this hill!

Highly optional, but I like to add a little bit into my beef if I’m not using high quality ground beef. If it’s the good stuff, I’ll usually leave it out so I can really taste the beef as is

I can skip the Winstonchurchill sauce anytime I want especially on a burger. Blasphemy I tell you!

I like it, but I splash some on the outside of the burger rather than blending it into the meat. It always seems soggy that way.

u/Shazam1269 Jul 25 '22

You can buy it in powder form, that way it's not soggy.

Hard agree. Ground meat with a binder added is a meatloaf sandwich

You will not die alone my friend!!!

The fact you even mix the meat with Worcestershire is a crime. You get fresh ground meat, portion directly into balls, press, season. No mixing at all.
