I am the leftover queen. My husband, and my son think they don’t like leftovers. Ha! As long as I keep them out of the kitchen, and they don’t see what I’m doing, I’m a genius! That left over chicken from Tuesday, will be barbecue chicken sandwiches for after school snack.

The simplest solution would be to cut the beef and vegetables into very small pieces, add the can of tomatoes and some water, re-season and serve up some vegetable beef soup with crackers. If I also added the noodles, it could become beef noodle soup. My husband loves left-overs and most of the time he doesn’t even know that he is eating left-overs. I save everything, including the water in which I cook vegetables and pasta. These are great additions to the soup that I make at the end of the week. Great website!

I’d take the soup, gravy and some of the sour cream and use the roast and egg noodles to make a beef stroganoff dish

Left overs?? What’s that? LOL! With my husband’s appetite, and my daughter and granddaughter living with me (temporarily), we don’t have many left overs. If I did have the above leftovers, I would slice up the beef, use the mushroom soup and the beef gravy and make my own recipe of Beef Goulash. After cooking all the ingredients together, I would stir in about half cup or sour cream, pour over the cooked egg noodles and there ya go! Thanks for this game, I love it!!!

I don’t cook . My husband cooks. But he’s the one who does not eat leftovers that are 2 days old even when they are stored in the fridge. But now these economic hard times looming over us, he is now convinced to re-use or re-cook leftovers in some other ways. Like if we have meatloaf tonight, he’ll make it the left-over meat as toppings for spaghetti the next day. Or if he make baked salmon today, tomorrow he’ll mix it with pancit (a Filipino dish).

Due to my work schedule, I LIVE off of leftovers. Waaay too many possibilities to list with the items you’ve suggested. I’ve been known to get very creative when combining leftovers. As has been said already, some things truly are better the second time around. )
