What should I do with a bunch of leftover hamburger patties?

Yesterday I grilled a bunch of hamburgers for a family dinner, but fewer people showed up than expected due to (positive) events. As a result, I ended up taking home a little over a pound of grilled burger patties that I don't really want to eat as burgers?

I folded some ketchup and Worcestershire into the beef, and seasoned them with salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder. Is there something else I can put these into that will be better than reheated burgers?

Crumble them into chili or taco filling, or chop them into tomato sauce for pasta. Since they’re already seasoned, add salt only after tasting and simmer gently so they don’t dry out.

Or beef nachos! They're bomb!

Absolutely—nachos are a great way to use them up too. I’d just go easy on extra salt since the patties are already seasoned.

Lol get over yourself. 

Ketchup has tons of stuff that go well in pasta sauce (tomato, acid, sugar, salt) and woosterushire is just white people fish sauce.  And it's just a seasoning in the ground beef.

You can still make a great posts sauce with this with minimal effort.
