Leftover Meat

October 28, 2009 | By Admin In Leftovers |

Here are three simple recipes using leftover meat and a few other ingredients including baked hash, scalloped beef, and farmers’ cabbage.
Baked Hash

2 cups cold meat (fully cooked)
1 tablespoon butter
2 cups cold potatoes
2 cups stock
Seasoning to taste

Melt the butter in the stock; add the meat and potato, finely chopped or run through a meat chopper. Season to taste; put in a greased baking dish and bake until nicely browned.

Scalloped Beef

2 cups cold chopped beef, fully cooked
2 cups cooked tomatoes
Salt and pepper
1 cup brown gravy
1 cup bread crumbs
2 tablespoons butter

In a baking dish arrange alternate layers of beef and tomatoes, seasoning each and moistening the meat with brown gravy. Cover the top with bread crumbs and bits of butter. Bake in a moderate oven for half an hour and serve. It it begins to brown too quickly, cover with a lid or foil.

Farmers’ Cabbage

1 cup cold meat, fully cooked
1 cup cooked cabbage
1 cup cooked tomatoes
1 cup bread crumbs
Salt and pepper

Chop the meat into small pieces; likewise the cabbage. Put a layer of meat in the bottom of a baking dish, then a layer of cabbage, then a layer of tomatoes. Continue until the entire quantity has been used, seasoning each layer as you go. Cover all with bread crumbs and bake in a moderate oven until brown. A little grated cheese may be added to the top if desired.
