There can’t be a party without chips and dip. But, all the leftover chips and half-eaten bags will eventually go stale, and quickly at that. Before you throw them out, try using them in some of these recipes. Not only will it save you money, you won’t have to go to the grocery store for these not some common applications.

If you tried the method above and your chips are too far gone to be saved, there is still hope! Use the chips as a base for a Mexican inspired casserole and you’ll have a great crunchy base layer. Layer beans, vegetables, and top with cheese, and you have an amazing dish that can feed a crowd.
Breadcrumbs
The most effective and easiest way to utilize stale chips of all kinds is to make them into breadcrumbs by simply crushing them by hand or in a food processor. You can use them to top dished like macaroni and cheese, or incorporate them into meatballs or veggie burgers!
