Ways to Use Leftovers

  • Crack Burgers – If you have leftover burger patties, dice them up and make Crock Pot Ground Beef Stew Recipe for a tasty meal idea.
  • Green Chile Chicken Soup – This leftover soup thickens when it stores in the refrigerator. We love to serve the leftovers over Instant pot White Rice Recipe for an easy meal idea.
  • Hamburger Casserole – When we have casserole leftovers, I like to add in chopped bell peppers and broccoli for a twist on this hamburger casserole.
  • Chicken Risotto – Place the leftover Chicken Risotto in a casserole dish and top with shredded cheese. Serve with a side of Air Fryer Broccoli for a complete meal idea.
