Great Food Leftovers?

Have roast beef one night, then shredded beef taco's the next night, then a roast beef spread for sandwiches..

Or meat loaf and then meat loaf sandwhiches

Or a whole chicken baked one night, then chicken soft tacos the next, then chicken soup after that, then if any is left chicken nachos..

email me if you need anymore specific recipes!

Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!

Meat loaf - works very well to freeze in individual slices so you can just heat in microwave or just thaw and make a sandwich out of it

Roasted chicken - after cooking and eating for the first meal, de-bone the chicken putting the meat in small portions in the freezer. Then take the bones and boil them with some onion and celery and the strain and freeze the liquid. Use this as a soup base.

Grilled meat - I will fire up the charcoal grill and cook up a week's worth of meats, everything from hamburger patties to pork chops and chicken. Then you can freeze these a get that just grilled taste months later.

If you buy a nice size boston butt and cook it in the crock pot, The first day you can eat it that way, the next day take some and put some bbq sauce and have sandwiches and the last day use this recipe.

Mexican Roll Ups

This is something I made up its a great way to use left over meat.

Use one of your choice

Shredded Chicken, shredded beef or shredded pork

Put in skillet with 1 pkg of taco seasoning

Add enough water so that you may simmer it, not to much

After simmering like 20 min

Place small amount in to soft burrito shell, I like to use the large ones.

Roll them up and secure with toothpicks

In deep fryer or skillet, brown til golden brown

They will be crunchy

Serve with sour cream, salsa or gucamole

Dont forget to remove toothpicks !!!!

Pastas and caseroles/stews and soups are the best things for reheating later. One of my family favourites is to cook up a dry-ish bolognaise sauce with mince beef and basil. You can store this for ages and use it in so many recipies by adding just one or two things. Obviously you can put it with pasta - but you can also make it into the following:

Sheppards pie - put it into a small ramekin and add some mashed potato and a sprinkle of cheese on top and grill

Taco mince - get a kit and add the taco flavouring and some kidney beans (or similar)

Savoury pancakes - make up the pancakes, put this mixture into the centre, roll up the pancake, melt some cheese on top - yum!

Pies - you can add mushrooms if you like - but just make some pastry cases and stick the mince into it - easy

Meatballs - add some eggs and breadcrums and fry together in a small ball

when I was in college i would make a big lasagna every weekend and it would feed me all week long for lunch and dinner. needless to say I am sick of it now. The best thing you could do is invest in glad ware and make several things that are cheap and will freeze like brisket, stew, lasagna. Then you will fix each of the 3 or 4 dishes up one weekend and make them into individual servings so when you are busy studying you can just pop one in the microwave and you have a meal this will also help on clean up since you are only cooking once every 3 or 4 weeks!

You obviously have a computer, so type in "recipes" in your search box, then clickonit.

I suggest stews, They taste great and are terrific leftovers as the flavors actually improve.They make up with whatever you have on hand.

In your search box you can specify the ingredients you want recipes for. Some should be dandies, and inexpensive.

Tuna Fish Casserol

easy to make in less than a half hour and makes approx. 4-6 servings

refridgerate the leftovers

Dessert make an apple crumble less than 15min. prep and a quick cook time with a tasty dessert serve warm 8-10 servings

Soups, stews, and casseroles all heat up well in the microwave, and also freeze well into smaller portions for pulling a meal for 1-2 out of the freezer. Be sure and label your plastic storage containers w/ what's inside.... you'll THINK you'll remember, but once it's a hard brick, you will NOT. Trust me on that one! :-)

Well, here is a delicious, healthy meal that can be frozen and reheated multiple times.

Lasagna- can be reheated up to 3 times

Fresh steamed veggies- Frozen and reheated up to 3 times

( all you need other than this is a fork and a glass of water and you are good to go!!!!)
