The first half of this video is me making a pasta dish to use up some of the leftover butternut squash soup, but if you are only interested in watching the "Soup of the Day" pun intended, feel free to skip ahead to 7:18 :)
Becca, watching from a Valdosta hotel room right now after damage from Helene. Could you please repost some of your microwave/no kitchen videos for all of us? Thanks!
REMIX!!! Add a pack of frozen mixed veggies (I’m thinking California mix) and thicken a bit. Top with biscuits, crescent roll dough or pie crust for a pot pie or instant mash for a shepherd style pie!
I use butternut squash soup as a base to make curry. I add ginger, garlic, curry powder, Garam masala powder and sauté that in butter. Sautee you choice of veggies. Add any meat you like (I love to use paneer cheese). Then add the butternut squash soup and either cream or coconut milk. Simmer until cooked.
Oh perfect. I always used to add butternut squash back when I used to make lamb rogan josh from scratch. It made a great flavor addition, so that makes so much sense!
I like how you evolved the series based on the comments on the first episode. If you ever do another 30 day for $100 challenge, I think the soup to pasta sauce concept would work well there. Also thanks for sharing about the parchment paper sheets from dollar tree and the idea to press sandwich sized sausage patties for the freezer! I’m already thinking of all the variations I can make with this concept- turkey patties, chicken patties, very thin beef patties for smash style burgers, salmon patties- and they can all get thrown on that xl griddle you recommended back in may
Tip: to keep the re-invented "squash pasta sauce" GF & DF... 1) use cornstarch instead of flour to make the rue 2) use coconut or an alternative nut milk for the creaminess 3) add cooked white beans for extra protein or serve over cooked white beans or rice instead of GF pasta. I'm sure everyone figured that out.
I just wanted to take a moment to let you know how well you are doing. I know things are scattered and crazy for you as you plan moving and have had some setbacks in content/scheduling. You are doing great! I enjoy all your content. Love you! Have a great day. :)
Thanks for utilizing your stock piles. I keep a stock up pantry when I find great sales. Every week, my Albertson's has an amazing sale, and it rotates with the previous week. I don't buy the other stuff, or at least I try to. Reduced proteins, and I check out their freezer stuff. If it's on markdown at a great price. I hit a doozy of a deal a few months ago. They had had their t-bones and porterhouses on sale the previous week. They were $7 and then 50% off. I stocked up big time. I can bake it like a roast, and when it's done, I can make bone broth utilizing the same heat. It's amazing. I, like you did, turn whatever I make in one meal, turn it into several options off the top of my head. It depends on what I have stock piled. I use portion control containers to put in the fridge or freezer. I had gastric bypass in 2001, and I've been on a diet with healthy products ever since. I watched my sister because she had the same surgery 3 years before me. She started gaining back her weight in the middle of the second year. I knew i would, too, if I didn't make a lifestyle change. So it's staying at a healthy weight with well-rounded food. I splurge every week with one meal that I want, not what I need. It keeps me from getting burned out and keeping my healthy foods with the inspiring treat for my work. Thanks for sharing your mission with us.
In the UK, a jacket potato with whatever topping you add to it is either an easy lunch or a light dinner. Stick your potatoes (about the size of your fist) all over with a fork, microwave for 10 minutes on high, then rub with oil & salt & pepper (they're mega hot so be careful). Stick them in the oven at 200 degrees centigrade (392 Fahrenheit) for 20 to 30 minutes to crisp the skin up (it's the best, most nutritious bit). Once the potatoes are cooked ( the skins are nice & crispy), cut a deep cross in the top of them, them squeeze at the fat part to make them open up or cut them in half or quarters, whichever suits you. Top with absolutely anything you want, after sticking a knob (pat) of butter into the potato. Typically, anything ground beef based, chilli, spag bol sauce, pulled pork of any description. The UK cheap & easy is grated cheese & baked beans. Tuna mayo, chicken mayo, chilli (from a tin. The key is ,lots of butter/margerine, a crispy skin on the potatoes & lots of cheese. If you want any more ideas please just ask. Makes a bag of potato's go a long way & there are no end of additions you can add xx
This is great information! Thank you! I've been undercooking my potatoes. I'm sure that's why I've not been a fan of microwaved baked potatoes. I'll use your method! Sounds delicious.
BTW UK baked beans are not the same flavor as in US. You can find UK baked beans in Indian groceries in US and sometimes Asian groceries. They are Heinz brand with a touquise label. And they are yummy!
FYI, you can usually get a giant (32 oz) container of the chicken bullion powder in the ethnic/international aisle for around $5-$6!!! Knorr brand and everything.
That pasta looked fabulous! So does the cheeseburger soup! I'm all about easy cooking! lol I use that G.V. seasoning blend all the time, because we like LOTS of onion, so that ratio suits us perfectly. I may check our local DT store and see if they have the seasoning blend in stock and maybe try mixing the two. I have a lot of mason jars from when I used to do a lot of canning; I use them for so many things. Drinking glasses (We call them our "country crystal".😄) food storage, individual servings of desserts like pudding or jello/fluff salads, and the little 4-oz jars are used for homemade spice blends and seasoning mixes.
@DollarTreeDinners If you want to avoid that separation, then leave out the cheese and milk probably. Just like how you use lemon juice to make buttermilk, the pickles and mustard are acidic. The ketchup probably didn't cause any problems.
It's SO SATISFYING watching someone use up old items from the back of the freezer. I don't know why I love it so much! I didn't know you could freeze cooked ground meat
Thank you for sharing a 'scrapped together' soup! When you start compiling all the bits and ends, it's sometimes an abundance of choices and it can be difficult to actually narrow down what you want to cook with it all. Having a good rotation available is key. Also, I love the Great Value Seasoning Blend you used. It's such a flexible mix and I use it in tuna bowls, soups, and pot pies.
@DollarTreeDinners To make it more cheeseburger-y, you could even use tomato jam in place of the ketchup and relish and/or pickle juice in place of the pickles and it would have a similar purpose i think(?). I put my mom's homemade bell pepper relish and tomato jam, separately or together, on sandwiches, burgers, hotdogs, sausages. So good
I Thank you for apologizing to one your last videos as I have dairy free butter and knew to incorporate that instead and it was delicious. For those of us that are intolerant to dairy I would hope that they would would have caught that also. To be dairy and/or gluten intolerant or any intolerance to food. I had to replay your videos a few times after hearing you to know I needed tobuse my dairy free butter. Honestly gluten or dairy can be hidden in a lot of ingredients. It's up to us viewers to recognize that. I forgot to add that I loved what tiu did with these left overs in this video. Great video!!
Great video. You're such a creative cook! Patty press tip: Put a square of parchment paper in the bottom part. Add sausage. Put another square of paper on top. Press. Grab a bottom paper corner to remove.
I love the idea of making the breakfast sausage sandwiches patties, instead of using the biscuit size preformed sausage patties. Thanks! I love prep-prepping for convenience foods.
I think a can of beans any kind could turn this into a tasty chili. Chili power and cumin with a dash of hot sauce. Chopped onion and shredded cheese floated on top to serve.
You might try adding dried mustard during cooking and a few fresh diced tomatoes at the end for the cheese burger taste. So it doesn't curdle. Don't forget the pickle on the side. LOL
On the burger press tip. Dip in cold water. It helps to keep meat from sticking, for easy removal. Enjoying the soup videos. Great idea to include leftover remakes. Thank you!
❤❤ Made your Cheese Burger Potato Soup tonight! I will say all ingredients but the Dollar Tree Blend came from a pantry! My other half does not always like recipes but !!!!TONIGHT A YES PLEASE MAKE IT AGAIN!
i have seen several recipes where people make "mac and cheese" by replacing the cheese with butternut squash "soup". i love cheeseburger soup and have made it several times. because it reminds me of hamburger helper as well, for the leftovers i add cooked pasta and sometimes a little more cheese depending on how thick my soup was. i mashed the potatoes, so there weren't potato chunks and pasta.
Tonight made a soup from leftover pork loin & potatoes from last week. Added a small onion, grape tomatoes & chopped the pork & potatoes into fine pieces & used up leftover broth to put it all together. Didn't even need much seasonings, just pepper & chimichurri seasoning. The pork was highly seasoned in a marinade before cooking the first time. We got a few meals out of this $9 pork loin! I fixed a few grilled cheese sandwiches to accompany the soup... My hubs had 3 bowls of the soup, I think he likes it 😂❤
I love butternut squash sauces! It makes fantastic mac-n-cheese with half the normal amount of cheese. I cook up some ground chicken spiced up like hot Italian sausage & toss it in. Add a little Swiss cheese or Parmesan with the cheddar. The balance of cheesy, salty, sweet & spicy is delicious I top with Italian seasoned bread crumbs before baking in the oven.
Absolutely everyone try it. 1 large jar of dill pickles 1 carrot 2 potatoes 1 London broil 1 cup heavy cream Salt -Boil your meat until tender -Shred your pickles with a cheese grater “use the whole jar” - shred your carrot - cut your potatoes medium size chunks - shred your meat Add everything together and let boil around 20 minutes - add in your heavy cream - salt to taste even though pickles are salty you will need to add salt to the soup the heavy cream and water really reduces the salt from the pickles. If anyone tried the recipe please lmk I hope everyone enjoys it’s actually really tasty ❤️
I’m so happy for the 2nd use for the butternut squash soup. I was hesitant to make it cause of the small amount of soup that I would use. Thank you so much
I like the idea of the butternut soup pasta dish! I think every mother that has had leftovers has had to recreate a meal so you are not having the same meal twice! I wonder if you thickened up the soup if you could make a potpie out of the leftovers. hmmm! thanks for sharing! xoxo
Not to focus on appearances, but your hair looks so beautiful and healthy!!! I also really really enjoyed this video. I really want to follow along at home by picking a few soups at a time. Dont worry about "being a day behind" and overwork yourself! Life happens. Your audience knows just how hard you work. Cheers to closing in on milestone subs! ❤
The pasta is a good option as inexpensive. For those with grain or gluten sensitivities there are some easy swaps. Non-gluten or garbanzo/lentil pastas can be a bit more expensive. So I often use lentils.
I think you could totally make some kind of Mexican dish with that leftover cheeseburger soup. Put some taco seasoning in there and put it on some chips with jalapenos and sour cream for nachos or thicken it up with more cheese or corn starch and make burritos, kinda like people do with chili. Or maybe I'm just hungry right now. 😛 Loving this series!
Some ways I make it a little more convenient for my preparing meals. I purchase ground beef usually 80/20 on sale and then cook the ground beef up without seasoning. I then drain the cook meat very well. I then portion out into smaller portions and freeze. This way when I need cooked ground beef its ready just to add into recipes. I've found this works great and cuts down on preparing meals. I cook chicken on sale in my Instant Pot under pressure cooker with water or chicken broth and mild seasoning. I also portion out so I can freeze portions to use in later meals too. I also have done the same with sausage too on sale. I am always looking through the discount rack in produce section of grocery for peppers or onions. When I find those bargains, I wash discount produce well and then chop up and portion out servings and freeze portions to have ready to add to meals later. They both freeze very well if placed in good packaging. I flash freeze first the produce. Laying out on cookie sheet flat and freeze first then add to packaging to freeze per portion.
I love your creativity with the use of the leftover soup! I think it would be fun to use the leftovers from today’s soup in a breakfast casserole (adding eggs, bacon etc.). Maybe with buttered breadcrumbs or bread cubes on top?
Pickles are not that weird b/c most Korean dishes n soups n stews they eat kimchi, pickled radishes, or yellow turmeric radish pickles. Korean hot pots are kinda like stew
I use those little parchment paper things for so many things when I’m cooking!!! I’m just not a pasta person, unless it’s cold, like pasta salad. But the sauce looks delicious!!!! I may try that over rice?
I think if you sauteed the ground beef with ketchup and mustard that would be a game changer thats what i do for my Big Mac salad and its AMAZING!! Also how about cheeseburger alfredo or pot pie with the left overs? Maybe even add some dumplings to it ? Yum Yum
I like the idea of multi-purpose. I love Mason jars they are so versatile. I have at least 20 jars. They also make them in spice jars which I also have.😊
The pasta sauce is so brilliant! I love butternut squash soup - it’s one of my all time favorites. I will have to try and remake that pasta dish. That looked amazing!
Love this series. That cheeseburger soup looked really good. I wonder if you could thicken it up and use as a Cheeseburger Pot Pie?? Thanks so much for sharing.
I'm thinking an au graten potato casserole. Cook some more potatoes and put in a greased casserole. Pour the soup over and top with more cheese. Bake till bubbly. Broil long enough to brown cheese a bit.
I'm very envious of your Dollar Tree. The one near me doesn't offer frozen foods or other. Just canned goods and even then it's mostly beans and tuna...I'd love to visit one with a refrigerated or frozen section, I'd bet I'd be like a kid at a candy store lol!! Love the soup series! Hope you do it again from time to time!.
I mentioned this in the last cheese video but american processed cheese freezes really well. Cut into blocks, wrap in plastic wrap and store in a ziploc; then thaw as needed.
Quick question 🙋♀️ how many would you suggest for a set of mason jars 🫙 for someone who is getting started 2 of each size ? (2c and 4 c) trying to help I’m trying to help young adults get started. 🥰
Yes I think the vinegar (in the ketchup and pickles) curdled the milk. I think the easy remix would be to make it like hamburger helper with pasta. But maybe you can do like nachos? If you add more of the cheesy melt and make it into a queso.
Love Cheese Burger Soup, Pizza Soup, Butter Nut Squash, Chicken Soup, Pasta Fagioli you get it - I ❤ one pot meals 😊 I vote for leftover Cheese Burger Soup to be turned into mini Cottage Pies.
So clever! This sauce would be great on those Cheese Ravioli’s they sell at the Dollar Tree. At the store there is a jar of Butternut Squash Pasta Sauce that is about $ 3.00 or more. So this idea is for sure a win win. TY🙋♀️

I think that’s a great idea! Im in WNC, so yeah…
I wish you well, im glad you’re safe.
REMIX!!! Add a pack of frozen mixed veggies (I’m thinking California mix) and thicken a bit. Top with biscuits, crescent roll dough or pie crust for a pot pie or instant mash for a shepherd style pie!
I was just going to say the same thing
What a good idea👍
This is a FABULOUS idea!

Oh perfect. I always used to add butternut squash back when I used to make lamb rogan josh from scratch. It made a great flavor addition, so that makes so much sense!
With the leftover cheeseburger soup, you might be able to make some type of shepherd's pie with mashed potatoes. Corn and other things.
Yummm

Nicely done! I would eat that butternut squash pasta sauce on top of cheese ravioli.

Try dry mustard and tomatoes paste next time so the soup doesn't curdle. I'd also just put some dill or a dash of the pickle juice.
I came on to say this also. The vinegar in the mustard probably caused the milk to curdle.
This is the best! I always have extra butternut soup as a household of 1, now I have a great way to repurpose it! Thx ❤

Brilliant re-engineered use of soup. And your presentation style is also brilliant. Bravo to you and your creativity in the kitchen.
Hot milk and acid is how you make the most basic cheese, so it’s not surprising you got some little curds. 😁

Pickle soup!! Is the best my grandmas recipe if you ever wanna try it I’d love to give you the recipe
Can you share your recipe!?
That sounds good
If you’d like to share it, I’d love to have your Grandmas recipe!
Sounds picklie
Absolutely everyone try it.
1 large jar of dill pickles
1 carrot
2 potatoes
1 London broil
1 cup heavy cream
Salt
-Boil your meat until tender
-Shred your pickles with a cheese grater “use the whole jar”
- shred your carrot
- cut your potatoes medium size chunks
- shred your meat
Add everything together and let boil around 20 minutes
- add in your heavy cream
- salt to taste
even though pickles are salty you will need to add salt to the soup the heavy cream and water really reduces the salt from the pickles. If anyone tried the recipe please lmk I hope everyone enjoys it’s actually really tasty ❤️
I’m so happy for the 2nd use for the butternut squash soup. I was hesitant to make it cause of the small amount of soup that I would use. Thank you so much
Love this! I just combined spaghetti sauce and chili in my crockpot. Both homemade and leftover. Gonna thin it out and add pasta to make goulash.
I toss left over soup on pasta or rice and good to go.
I make roasted tomato soup and then whatever I have left I use over pasta and it’s very delicious

I use those little parchment paper things for so many things when I’m cooking!!! I’m just not a pasta person, unless it’s cold, like pasta salad. But the sauce looks delicious!!!! I may try that over rice?
I bet it would be delicious over rice!
They are so useful! I love them!
I think if you sauteed the ground beef with ketchup and mustard that would be a game changer thats what i do for my Big Mac salad and its AMAZING!! Also how about cheeseburger alfredo or pot pie with the left overs? Maybe even add some dumplings to it ? Yum Yum
I like the idea of multi-purpose. I love Mason jars they are so versatile. I have at least 20 jars. They also make them in spice jars which I also have.😊
Love love the use up leftovers ideas. That soup is even higher on my to make list now, lol.
The pasta sauce is so brilliant! I love butternut squash soup - it’s one of my all time favorites. I will have to try and remake that pasta dish. That looked amazing!
Love this series. That cheeseburger soup looked really good. I wonder if you could thicken it up and use as a Cheeseburger Pot Pie?? Thanks so much for sharing.
Rebecca,I so enjoy your video! I think you help alot of folks.❤
If it’s a broth kind of soup, I recycle it into a rice dish (use the soup instead of water)
Interesting idea for the leftover soup. Thanks for sharing.
I'm thinking an au graten potato casserole. Cook some more potatoes and put in a greased casserole. Pour the soup over and top with more cheese. Bake till bubbly. Broil long enough to brown cheese a bit.
So glad you are doing these. Love soup
I'm very envious of your Dollar Tree. The one near me doesn't offer frozen foods or other. Just canned goods and even then it's mostly beans and tuna...I'd love to visit one with a refrigerated or frozen section, I'd bet I'd be like a kid at a candy store lol!! Love the soup series! Hope you do it again from time to time!.
It looks delicious! Thank you for the video.
That pasta looks bomb. I love pumpkin season
Great idea to make a 2nd meal with leftover soup by adding a few new ingredients! Great series!
I mentioned this in the last cheese video but american processed cheese freezes really well. Cut into blocks, wrap in plastic wrap and store in a ziploc; then thaw as needed.
Awesome idea 💡 Thanks for sharing and for substituting for various diet restrictions it really looks delicious ❤👍🏽🥰
Quick question 🙋♀️ how many would you suggest for a set of mason jars 🫙 for someone who is getting started 2 of each size ? (2c and 4 c) trying to help I’m trying to help young adults get started. 🥰
They come in a pack of 12, but that does take up quite a bit of space! So perhaps 4 of each would be good to start for space limitations
@@MindfulCraftsMore Thrift stores will usually have a shelf of assorted mason jars
@@DollarTreeDinners awesome thanks so much 🥰
@@anonanon1982 awesome thanks so much 🥰
I have used leftover canned pumpkin in pasta sauce before, so the pasta sauce makes a lot of sense.
Making the butternut squash soup today! I'm so excited to try it!!
Hope you like it!
You are amazing!! I love all these recipes!!!
Very creative! I bet it would be delicious over potatoes too
Yes I think the vinegar (in the ketchup and pickles) curdled the milk. I think the easy remix would be to make it like hamburger helper with pasta. But maybe you can do like nachos? If you add more of the cheesy melt and make it into a queso.
Great idea for butternut squash pasta! And I love the idea of you repurposing the soups!
i would not eat cheap meat
Love Cheese Burger Soup, Pizza Soup, Butter Nut Squash, Chicken Soup, Pasta Fagioli you get it - I ❤ one pot meals 😊
I vote for leftover Cheese Burger Soup to be turned into mini Cottage Pies.
I would make a casserole and put biscuits on top
Your butternut squash sauce looked amazing! I kept imagining it over some prepared cheese ravioli. Definitely inspired me today!
a little coconut cream or coconut milk would add a lovely flavor in lieu of butter!
Thank you for making the correction! You are just so amazing! And as always your food looks delicious!
So clever! This sauce would be great on those Cheese Ravioli’s they sell at the Dollar Tree. At the store there is a jar of Butternut Squash Pasta Sauce that is about $ 3.00 or more. So this idea is for sure a win win. TY🙋♀️
Love your videos, both here and on TikTok! Question on the cheeseburger soup - why not use beef stock? I think that would be a more hamburgery flavor.
The butternut sauce …. Yum! You could use it for the sauce for lasagne too!
Maybe add some more cheese to the soup and thicken it up, make a pie crust or mashed potatoes and turn it into a pot pie or sheperds pie dish.
A cheeseburger Pot pie is such a great idea!
You could thicken it a bit and use as a pasta sauce, also.
Hi, thank you for sharing. Hamburger soup yum and I would have made the fried pickles for the side. Great job. Overall, in this video
I'm glad to know about my bacon grease. And I thought it was only for my savory red cabbage. Now it has other uses.
