Okay leftovers can become boring. (Even my leftovers!) So when freezing isn't really an option (or you know you're not going to eat the frozen food ever again) do something fun and exciting. Experiment. I had some black beans and spanish rice left over from when I made chicken enchiladas (yes I need to post the recipe) and well the beans were bland and the rice was ok, but who wants to eat rice by itself? (Unless it's Fried Rice, I need to post the recipe for that too. It was sublime). So here is an idea for something you can do at home.
Ingredients
- Rice (Spanish Rice)
- Beans (Black Beans)
- burger patties (Mmmm Monster Burgers)
- can of chili (Hormel)
- cheese (Sharp Cheddar)
- sour cream (Lucrene low fat)
- garlic powder
- onion powder
- minced onion
- cayenne
- hot sauce (I mixed the Ashanti and texas hot sauce)
- Mix rice and beans in a pot and add the spices. Then add the chili and break up the beef patty and add that. Heat. (med/high)
- Put some in a bowl add grated cheese on top and a heaping spoonful of sour cream and then the hot sauce (As much or little as desired.)
And voila! There you have it. A yummy meal that you made from just heating up leftovers in the fridge. It's a great way to avoid waste and boring same ol' same ol' food. I do this kind of stuff a lot because I make very large quantities of food. (I am used to cooking for like 7 people.) Plus it's great to freeze meals, and I also like eating good stuff multiple days in a row. So good luck! And have fun in your fridge. :D
