Ways to Use Leftovers

  • Chicken Breasts – There are many ways to use cook chicken breast. These are a few of our favorite Crockpot Chicken Breast Recipes.
  • Hamburger Casserole – Use your leftovers to make a egg scramble by heating in a skillet and adding in eggs. We even add in bell peppers and onions for even more flavor.
  • Vegetable Beef Stew – After storing the leftovers, the stew consistency gets thick so I like to make some Instant pot White Rice Recipe and serve the stew over the top.
  • Shish Kabob – Take your meat and vegetables and make a Easy Fried Rice Recipe for an quick dinner the next day.
