We had tacos and refried beans on Sat. and I made a Queso cheese dip for the game last night. So the taco meat and refried beans and some cheese dip in and on the outside of flour tortilla burritos is ready to go in the oven for tonight. So I still have a bit of Queso left. What about using it for Mac N' Cheese. Any other ideas? TIA

I think it is a good idea. i've seen queso mac& cheese topped with
Broken tortilla chips instead of breadcrumbs

mmmm...that sounds good. Some kinda spicy lamb burgers would
be nice with it. Now I'm kinda torn between a nice big baked potato and bites of grilled chicken breast in the queso over top. Maybe cilantro sprinkled over. They both sound good so I'm gonna make John decide which. Thanks

I vote "yay" on the Mac & Cheese. Loves me that "con queso".
MacN'Cheese it is! Actually, I'm pretty sure it's the lamb burgers
that he really wants. I know him and he loves them. Let me post the recipe since I'm not sure if I have done before. I don't have any ground lamb right now but I've made them with beef and they are just as good. It's a recipe from my favorite chef...Caprial Pence.

Our favorite lamb burgers
So easy - I mix the ground lamb with Good Seasons dry Italian salad dressing mix and grill or broil!
The original recipe - Stuffed Ground Lamb Italiano - serves the lamb burgers sandwiched around a spinach ricotta filling and topped with marinara over pasta.

1 1/2 lbs lean, fresh ground lamb

1 pkg (10 ounces) frozen spinach, defrosted and squeezed dry
1 C (8 ounces) part-skim ricotta
3 T grated Parmesan cheese
1-1/2 t dried basil leaves, crushed
1 t garlic salt
1 t white pepper
2 C prepared pasta sauce, heated
1-1/2 lbs cooked pasta, kept warm
Blend lamb and dressing mix in medium bowl. Divide lamb into 12 portions and form into thin patties, each about 3 inches in diameter; set aside.
In medium bowl, blend spinach, ricotta, Parmesan cheese, basil, garlic salt and pepper. Divide into 6 portions and form into thin patties, each about 2 inches in diameter. Place a cheese patty in between two lamb patties; press edges to seal. Repeat process, making 6 stuffed lamb patties.
Broil 4 inches from heat source for 5 to 6 minutes per side or until no longer pink inside or to desired degree of doneness. Pour 1/3 cup pasta sauce on plate and place broiled lamb pattie on sauce. Serve with pasta. Makes 6 servings.
