This is one of those necessity is the mother of invention things- I hesitate to call it a recipe! I had a few stray chicken breasts and some pork chops that were a wee bit too dry to fly solo....after a quick cupboard rummage, I came up with this, and was surprised at how well it was received- my leftover-phobic hubby had THIRDS. And because the meat is already cooked, it goes from table to stove in about 15 minutes. Ingredients:
2 leftover cooked chicken breasts |
3 leftover cooked pork loin chops (any combo works here, you could also throw beef or ground turkey, or even taco meat or tofu into the) |
0.5 (18 ounce) bottle barbecue sauce (i used the trader joe's brand, which has a kick to it!) |
3 (16 ounce) cans chili beans (i used bush's- it comes in a spicy sauce) |
1/8 cup brown sugar |
Directions:
1. Shred/dice/crumble meat into a good-sized saucepan.
2. Add BBQ sauce and beans- heat over med/high until bubbly. Stir in brown sugar, and keep stirring occasionally until sugar is dissolved and mixture is heated through.
3. I like to serve this with mac n' cheese, succotash, and a green salad - plus maybe some garlic bread if I am feeling decadent. Yum!
