Repurposing Leftovers

We did a pot roast last week that turned out really, really tasty. However, it also made lots of leftovers - it was a couple pounds of roast, plus potatoes, and even with three people eating dinner, I put 1 2.5 cup container in the freezer, sent a bunch with Jeff for lunch the next day, and still had another 2.5 cup container full.

I’m rarely in the mood for straight pot roast the second time around. Other dishes I will happily eat meal after meal, but not that one; I suspect it’s all the meat. So last night I made a batch of biscuits, and we had biscuits and gravy, with beef instead of sausage. It really, totally hit the spot, and the simple addition of biscuits made the leftover roast a lot more palatable.

What’s your favorite thing you’ve done with leftovers recently?
