Thursday Bullets: Morphing meals

There is just something about the word leftover that sends some husband’s screaming from the building.   It is still a good idea to be able to cook once and eat twice.   Its more efficient .  So, instead of reheating the same dinner, you can reinvent the ingredients and morph the meal.   It helps to space the leftover (morphed) meal in between another meal.  


  • Pork roast can become pork sliders with bbq sauce. 
  • Meatballs and speghetti can become meatball subs. 
  • Cooked chicken breast can become chicken broccoli salad , or chicken pot pie , Thai noodles 
  • Leftover cooked chicken or pork can become stuffing for a calzone
  • Shredded chicken can become tortilla soup 
  • Leftover beef can become beef and blue cheese pizza
  • Leftover beef can become sliders
  • Leftover beef can become bbq beef pizza 
  • Leftover just about any meat can become a coconut  curry noodle bowl
  • Shredded meat can be a meat for tacos. 
  • Leftover cooked meat can go into a Denver  potato casserole 
  • Ham can morph into seasoning for split pea soup 
  • Leftover chicken can become a chicken Alfredo pizza or 
  • A buffalo chicken pizza
  • Meatloaf one day can become meatballs on noodles another.   (Just cube the meatloaf) 
Chili or a vegetable soup can be served over rice another day.
  • Leftover taco meat can become a burrito bowl another day 
  • The black beans you cooked for a Mexican dish can become black bean cakes . 
  • Meatball stew
