What should I make with my leftovers?!


Question: I have leftover pork roast, and I want to make something different with the leftovers. We aleady had it with vegetables and gravy. What else can we make? I've made stir fry before, so I'm looking for a different recipe.

You could add some long green Chile that has been toasted and the skin removed. Chop up some potatoes and add that also. You could shred it and make tacos from it. You could also get a can of biscuits and flatten the round a little and put some of the roast and cheese or salsa and fold the round over it and bake it. You can also make burritos with it. Serve sour cream, limes and cilantro. Or just plain sandwiches with mayo and lettuce.

Cut it into strips (or shred it) and warm it with BBQ sauce. Serve on buns (or onion rolls), with coleslaw and French fries or baked beans......

anytime we have any sort of roast left over we put it in a crock pot with some bbq sauce and have bbq sandwiches that night

For lunch, we like to make hot pork or beef sandwiches out of leftovers. You need some of the gravy for those. Put a slice of bread on your plate, a scoop of mashed potatoes on top of that, top with pork slices, and finally gravy.

Or, make pulled pork. Heat then shred the pork with a couple forks, add BBQ sauce, then pile on rolls.

pulled BBQ pulled pork sandwiches ...take two forks and shred the meat by pulling it in two different directions at the same time . add a little of your favorite BBQ sauce and heat on stove or microwave . have some fresh buns of your liking and serve ... great with picnic foods , such as potato salad , baked beans , coleslaw ... the list is endless

Either mince it and make into a bolognese or

put layer of meat into greased ovenproof dish
Cover with a layer of sauteed onions
cover with a layer of baked beans
Cover with a layer of frozen green beans
cover with a layer of sliced cooked potato
Top with butter and cheese (optional)
Bake in oven tilkl hot through and green beans cooked and serve.

Chop up your leftover pork, any pork will do (any meat really). Get out your casserole dish. dump in two cans of diced tomatoes (don't drain), two cans of fancy cut green beans (drain about half the juice), two cans of corn (drain about half the juice). Sprinkle cut pork over the top of vegetables, sprinkle some grated cheese over the top. Make a mix of bisquick and water....approx 2 cups of bisquick and then add water until it is runny and pour able.

Pour bisquick over the top of the casserole. bake at 350 for about 30-40 minutes, until the bisquick is cooked and the top is turning light brown.

left over pork, cubed
2-3 Tblsp olive oil
1-1.5 cups fresh, sliced mushrooms
1/4 cup sweet vermouth
1 teasp sugar

Heat olive oil. Add mushrooms and sautee lightly. Add vermouth and sugar and cook until mushrooms are a nice golden brown. add pork. Stir until pork is heated through. Can be served over white or yellow rice.

Take a break stew:
Heat up the crock pot, toss in your leftover pork, a can of potatoes,can of carrots, and whatever frozen veggies you want. I use the ones that have very little in the bag haha.Leave it for an hour or 2. While it cooks: TAKE A BREAK!After dinner you only have a few bowls and your crock pot to clean.Since everything comes from a can or bag.And the mess from the roast was made yesterday.This works with beef too, even chicken.

Yummy chili cheese pork quesadillas: Brush both sides of a 2 flour tortilla with olive oil. sprinkle tortilla's with salt, chili powder. Put shredded cheese, and bite-size peices of your leftover pork roast in between the tortillas cook in on the grill or under the broiler until it starts to brown. I do this all the time with smoked chicken or pork.

Take your leftovers, toss 'em in the crockpot with a jar of salsa, and shred it up for pulled pork sandwiches. Cook on Low for 8 hours, or High for four.
You can also use a homemade BBQ sauce instead of the salsa; 1 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup sweet mustard, and 1/8 cup of honey or brown sugar.

I usually make sweet 'n' sour pork with left over roast.
Buy a good brand of sweet 'n' sour sauce (Uncle Bens if you can get it) Chop into small pieces some onions, mushrooms, red, green & yellow peppers, cook for about 10 to 15 minutes in wok, add pork & jar of sauce, cook for a futher few minutes.
Serve with brown rice or pasta.
Tastes great!

cut it in strips... add a bit of bbq sauce and put it on french bread- then to the oven... have it with fries, add salt, pepper and a bit of garlic to the fries.

Just did this recently- cut cooked pork into cubes. Heat in a frying pan with some adobo seasoning, or chili powder, or taco seasoning- whatever latin/south american seasonings you have. Stir pork until the cubes are somewhat crispy. Serve in a tortilla topped with black beans, rice, avocado slices, and sprinkled with lime juice.

pull it with forks and add your fav. bbq sauce. serve on buns with potato salad or slaw or take thee pork shredd/slice thin, reheat with some green bell pepper and onion slices (pre sauted in butter or oil) serve on warm flour tortillas with shredded chedder, salsa and sour cream or add bbq sauce to shredded pork, reheat. place in 9x 13 baking dish, top with shredded chedder then place a roll of crescent rolls on top. bake until golden
