What sought of meals do you make out of your left overs?

Question

I'm looking for variety, what to do with my left overs and that is tasty? Thankyou

Answer 1

Eat them as leftovers.

Answer 2

If I have leftover veal piccata, I saute some mushrooms with garlic, make an alfredo, toss in the veal, and toss with pasta.



The leftover crab shells I save and make a crab stock and make a bisque out of it.  (Servers do look at you weird when you say you want to take the shells home, but I don't care.)



If there's leftover spaghetti in red sauce, I put it in a glass baking dish and cover it with mozzarella and sprinkle sliced black olives on it.



Leftover black beans and rice, or dirty rice goes into tortillas with some cheese to make enchiladas.

Answer 3

Answer 4

If I have leftover chicken or turkey I do -

#1 Slice or chop up the meat and add a little mayonnaise or your choice of dressing. finely chop onion and celery and salt/pepper to taste. Slightly tosted wheat is good as well as regular white bread. I cut the sandwiches up into 4 triangles. Nice snack during TV.

#2 Pull all of the meat and add it to a large pot of gravy to your liking. Brown or poultry grave is good. Heat it up making a nice gravy with loads of meat. Serve over rice or mashed potatoes.

Left over Ham -

#1 I chop into small bite size chunks and make omelets in the morning. Simmer ham in small pan just to re-heat it. scramble X amount of eggs or egg substitute and set aside. chop up green peppers and onions add to the ham. Then pour eggs into a skillet and let it spread out then on one half dump your ham mix. ADD CHEESE if you like. Then fold in half and cook till slightly brown and or cheese looks melted.

#2 Use sliced ham pieces and re-heat them in a covered pan. They will dry out. Add a little of butter or margarine on the top of each slice. About a 1/4 teaspoon of butter each. Salt pepper or garlic powder to taste. Serve with a pork gravy or my favorite a white sauce.

#3 Can also make nice dinner sandwiches from slices. Cut to size heat up add s/p to taste. Sprinkle with seasoning salt of your choice. Use nice bakery rolls with a little gravy or mayo on the roll. You can sprinkle Parmesan cheese on the meat as wel.

Left over Meat balls or sauce for spaghetti -

#1 You can simply make more spaghetti and your done. However a nice touch is to add or just totally use elbow noodles. A nice texture and change.

#2 Re-heat meatballs in sauce or make more. Then use long hogie or sub rolls. (like long hot dog buns on steroids)  Fill the roll with meatballs and a little sauce and done! OR add a nice cheese to the top and broil for a few seconds.

Left over steak or other similar meat. -

#1 Slice steak meat into real thin slices. Place on bread with a little mayo. Salt peper to taste.

#2 Same as above only make a pot of thin gravey beef stock etc. When warm add meat slices to the gravey. Pour over slices of bread to make an open face HOT sandwich.

THANKS NOW I AM STARVING.

I saved two boiled hot dogs from lunch. I am going to slice each in half length ways. The long way. Fry them up on the cut side first. Then place on bread with mayo or I also like to fry them up. Use a small dish for your favorite dipping mustard. Tear up a little roll or use bread. Dip fried hot dog into the mustard and eat with a bite of bread.

I CANT STOP -

ONE LAST ONE - Microwave or reheat the hot dogs or use left over bratwurst etc.  In small bowl or cup Use 1/4 cup of ketchup and add curry powder to it to taste. Cut dog into  small pieces and dip in sauce or use roll and pour curry sauce on top. This is not the HOT curry stuff you may think of. It is a little tangy ketchup taste. UMMMMM!

See ya!
