"It's no small secret that Wendy's restaurants make their chili with leftover cooked hamburger patties, not that I am trying to duplicate their flavor here. While I don't choose to make chili from cooked beef, there have been the occasions where I had leftover burgers for whatever reason and have reimagined them into chili. This is also good if you want to make chili but only have frozen meatballs on hand, as you can thaw them and it works the same (provided they are not coated in sauce). You can also use up leftover meatloaf this way, again, as long as it is not inappropriately covered with a conflicting sauce."
