Ways to Use Leftovers
- Minestrone Soup – Since the soup consistency is usually thicker, I like to make some Instant pot White Rice Recipe to serve the soup over the top.
- Taco Sliders – We always have leftover taco meat when we make these sliders. Use the leftover meat and make Oven Nachos for a quick lunch the next day.
- Cincinnati Chili – There are many ways to use chili leftovers, but my favorite is to make a Frito Chili Wrap with Homemade Flour Tortilla Recipe.
- Chicken and Rice Skillet Recipe – Place the leftovers in a casserole dish and make a Chicken and Rice Casserole for a quick meal idea.
