Here's a good way to use leftover pot roast - with its juices and any leftover vegetables. Its a very flexible, use-what-you've-got soup so its hard to go wrong. If you don't have homemade beef stock (butchers aren't giving away bones anymore), soup base is tastier than regular bullion. I like the Tones brand you can get at Sam's Club. Note: I couldn't get the recipe editor to accept leftover vegetables as an ingredient, but if you've got some hanging out in the fridge throw them in. Ingredients:
1/2 lb leftover pot roast, chopped (or more if you have it) |
1 cup dripping (fat removed after chilling) |
1 quart beef stock |
1 -2 cooked carrot, sliced |
1 -2 cooked potato, sliced |
1 lb frozen mixed vegetables |
1 (154 ounce) can diced tomatoes |
1 dash garlic powder |
1 dash chili powder (optional) |
1/2 onion, chopped (optional) |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients in a suitable pot. Bring to boil. 2. Turn down heat and simmer 15 minutes. 3. Best served with crusty bread alongside. |
