A new favorite in my house is leftover frittatas. We heat up the meat and veggies together, add some lightly beaten eggs and cook until the eggs are set. It's not always very pretty, but you can top it with cheese and/or put in a tortilla and no one knows!

I turn my leftover potroast into shredded bbq beef sandwiches. You can throw chopped up leftover steak and veggies in tomato soup for beef veggie soup.

Soups are great for leftovers! I always keep a carton of chicken stock on hand and will often throw in my leftover meat, veggies, rice and pasta into some broth and cook it up that way. It works for chicken, beef, even spaghetti and sauce with tomato soup.

No Need to cook specifically with leftovers in mind. No matter what you have left make Stir fry! not your actual chinese stir fry but what I call leftover stir fry. Any meat leftovers can be cut into small chunks, simmer with onion and garlic and a little olive oil or butter. Add leftover veggies or fresh stir fry veggies. You can add any leftover gravy or sauce if you have any or make your own with a little butter, milk and flour and buollion cubes. Put this on top of mashed potatoes or rice or into wraps (without adding any gravy).

You can also ,make a shepards pie out of meat and veggie leftovers, or a leftover stew. Add chicken or beef broth to you leftovers adding fresh onions, carrots celery, etc. You can also make just enough from your leftovers so there are no leftovers from the second go round. Good luck
