‘Tis the season for BBQ and I always seem to have extra buns. We never make 8 hamburgers and Lil’ Bit eats her hot dogs in pieces still. Brat buns come in 8 packs and brats come in 5 packs.
We have several things we LOVE to do with leftover buns.
- garlic bread. Our VERY favorite. Butter, add some garlic POWDER (not salt) and broil until toasted. YUM!
- hamburger pizzas. Put a spoonful of sauce, some extra cheese and whatever leftover’s you like on top. Bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted to your liking. Toaster ovens are awesome for summer baking. I highly recommend one. Really!
- Croutons. I haven’t had a chance to try these out yet because I still have some bagged ones, but I’m going to try these and these. I love the buttery cheese and buttery garlic croutons at the store. Not so big on the chemicals though.
- bread pudding. Last time we made this, we used stale doughnuts and this Chocolate Bread Pudding recipe. Oh.My.Word. It was awesome.
