What to do with leftover pot roast?

hs & js baby #1 · November 2010

Hi ladies! As we speak, I have a pot roast with potatoes and carrots cooking in the crockpot. It's a 2# roast and I know there's no way we're going to eat it all tonight. I'm thinking I'll probably have maybe 3/4# left in leftovers. Any suggestions for using the meat for another meal? I know we can always just use it as straight-out leftovers, but I feel like a lot of times we don't eat them because we don't feel like the same meal 2 nights in a row. I'd hate for it to go bad and would like to have a plan to use it for another night.

Any ideas?

Thanks!!!!!!

I shred the meat, and use the meat and broth to make beefy vegetable soup. Add a large can of diced tomatoes, tomato juice, a bag of frozen mixed veggies, a medium fresh cubed potato, fresh sliced carrots, a few Tblsp of diced onion, and whatever else you want...

Shred it, throw on some BBQ sauce and serve on a kaiser bun. I did this just yesterday and it was really good. Easy peasy and DH loved it.

BBQ Beef sandwiches. I can never have pot roast more than one day. I always make sure I get buns at the store and my favorite BBQ sauce (Sweet Baby Rays) and shred it all up. You can also use Au jus sauce and it's just as good.

I do french dip sandwiches with my roast sometimes. Save some of the juice from the crockpot and you can have it for lunch or have it for dinner the next night.

Vegetable Beef soup is my favorite.

Beef and barley soup.

Or shepherd's pie.

dice everything up with the gravy and add tomato soup or sauce and more veggies (corn & peas) and make it a beef stew.

It also freezes, so if you don't feel like having beef stew tomorrow you could put it in the freezer for a night you don't feel like cooking.

shred it, mix it with some roasted garlic, a little lime juice and cumin, maybe a little BBQ sauce and eat it on a corn tortillia with sourcream, cheese, and avo! Yum!

I agree with BBQ and French Dip sandwiches. We like our French Dips with sauteed green pepper, mushroom and provolone cheese.

I just made hash with leftover london broil meat. I shred the meat in a food processer and then shred potatoes and mix them together and fry it in a large skillet. You can add onions, salt, pepper etc if you want. I eat mine with ketchup and I love it!
