What is your Favorite Leftover??

[SwampDonkey]

Had pizza last night for supper, so you know what that means. Leftover pizza. Forgot to mention baked beans, they taste the same leftover as the first time, Dang Good stuff. Then any chicken, which I had for dinner goes into a chicken stew that gets eaten for a few meals. ;D

Scalloped Potatoes don't even compare on day two.
And Navy Bean Soup runs a near second.   digin_2

Venison Chili, any kind of stew.  I like to make big 'ol hearty soups with a turkey carcass or monster ham bone after a holiday dinner.

I was was once related to a guy (thru one of my ex's), that would not touch left-over food.  He stuck that nose in the air and insisted it was beneath him to eat anything that was not fresh made the 1st time.  I just sat there aghast till I realized my head was cocked to one side and my jaw was drobbed open...I couldn't respond without making trouble

I knew  a single woman like that, her diet must have been very limited.

Eating leftover lasagna for lunch. Better than it was 2 nights ago.  digin1

Left-Over "boiled dinner" is good to the last drop!

Boiled Dinner for those that don't know starts out with cut up potatoes, lots of cut up onions, lots of cabbage, some turnip, lots of carrots, a ham (some cut up in serving sized pieces) and the bone with lots of meat still on it is added also, for the extra flavor!

Put everything in a big pot or roasting pan (a LARGE crockpot is a nice substitute) add water until everything is covered.

Put the pot in the oven and cook all day!!!!!!!

Most people agree, "it's better the second time around"!

Oyster Rockefeller, just as good the next two warm ups. Lots of good stuff like real butter, real cream, and real bread crumbs, taters, smoked oysters with the juice........everything real, right down to the onion and garlic. :D mmm Oh, my goodness. ;D

[Magicman]

I just finished a bait of turnip greens, cole slaw, french fries, hush puppies, and catfish.  There was none left over for leftovers.   ;D

[WDH]

Chicken and dumplings. 

[Mooseherder]

Next up for Planned leftovers.
Corned Beef for St. Patty's Day.
And samiches for the next couple days.
Corned Beef=more better'n Grits.

[Magicman]

If you say so, but I can not offer an opinion.  I have never tried corned beef.

[Mooseherder]

Okay, I was kidding about the Grits.  You're kidding about the Corned Beef right? ;D

[LeeB]

I have to say, one of my favorite left overs is a tip on the table for the waitress. No muss, no fuss, no dishes to clean.

[Magicman]

You're kidding about the Corned Beef right?

Nope, not kidding.  I have seen it on buffet lines etc, but I have never tried it.

[SwampDonkey]

I actually never cared for it myself. I have had it from a can as well and could tolerate it for a sandwich. In fact ate a few canned corned beef sandwiches on long woods hikes into remote trout fishing holes.  ;D

[WildDog]

As a young stockman the cook would send us off each morning with corned beef, pickles and cheese sandwich's. I used to think not again when I'd pull the melted sandwich's out of the saddle bag in the heat of summer. :(

These days my wife cooks a corned beef on Sunday nights for lunch meat to last me the week at work. Things have changed with air conditioned cars and coolers

I haven't read the whole thread, but my vote is for anything with tomatoes in it,  especially pasta dishes.

[pineywoods]

Wife made a banana pudding big enough to feed 20 people. Took it to church tonite, wasn't much left, but I'm licking the bowl.
Eat your heart out Magicman  :D

[Magicman]

Sometimes you are a bad man.   

[Raider Bill]

Last night we took the left over corned beef from Sunday and made a Ruben casserole. First time I've had it and was very DELISH!

[LeeB]

Sounds interesting. Do tell more.

[Raider Bill]

Line a casserole dish with a layer of flattened Pillsbury crescent rolls.
Bake at 375 for 9 minutes or until browned.

Take a bag of sauerkraut drain then mix in 1000 island dressing. This wasn't measured, We did it to taste.

Spread that out on top of the browned dough then put 1/2 brick of sliced swiss cheese on top. We had a 8oz brick and used that.

Put sliced corned beef or left over Easter meat on top of that then more Swiss cheese [the other 1/2] brick.

Cover with layer of cresent roll, egg wash, then sprinkle caraway seeds over it.
Bake at 375 for 30 minutes.



  

 

TA  DA!

[LeeB]

Looks good and like a heart attack on a plate. How come all the good stuff is bad for you?

[Raider Bill]

That's one of life's mystery's ...

[Magicman]

Looks good.

In addition to Corned Beef, I'll have to add Sauerkraut to my list of stuff that I have never eaten.
