Meat Balls
- Slice meatballs. Sauté bell pepper strips until crisp-tender, then add the meatball slices to the pan to heat through. Use as a
sandwich filling for French or Italian bread, adding warmed spaghetti sauce as desired.
Meat Loaf
- Blend a can of cream of chicken or cream of mushroom soup with 3/4 cup milk. Spread about 1/3 of this on the bottom of a casserole dish. Layer slices of leftover meat loaf and mashed potatoes over this. Top with the remaining soup mixture. Bake at 325 degrees F for about 45 minutes.
- Slice leftover meatloaf about 1/2 inch thick and lay like shingles in the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch or 9-inch square pan. Pour homemade or canned chili over the slices. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 30 minutes or until chili is hot and bubbly. Add grated cheese to the top and serve.
Miscellaneous
- Wrap leftovers in a tortilla and refrigerate them for another meal.
Oatmeal
- Add cooked oatmeal to pancake or muffin batter.
Pancakes
- Sprinkle with a cinnamon-sugar mixture, then roll up and eat.
Pie dough
- Roll dough very thin, dot with butter, then sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Roll up, slice off 1-inch pieces and bake flat side down.
