Have any of you had left overs and never knew what to do with them? Have you made one thing one day to only turn it into something different another night? What types of things have you tried that are a success?
My husband really likes meatloaf, and for two people meatloaf is a lot. So, we usually eat left overs for 1 day and after that it's just not that special. Therefore, I've turned it into part of the meat sauce in spaghetti sauce. The other day I made homemade sloppy joe's (made with gumbo soup, ketchup, and mustard). Sloppy joe's are one of those food items that don't necessarily get better with time (i.e. soup, spaghetti sauce, etc.). Therefore, today I am trying the sloppy joe's into spaghetti sauce experiment. Hope it tastes good! I am very limited on add-in's to the sauce due to my husband being picky. He's not much of a rabbit eater, so I can't add peppers. He doesn't like black olives or mushrooms but I cut them small enough (he has no choice but to swallow). Over the years, I've found the way to my husbands heart in some of my cooking-garlic. Seems I can never add too much.
Question: What types of foods have you tried that were a success when you've made one thing and used the left overs to make something different?
