I love trying to find clever ways to use up food. I tried chili Colorado recently and didn’t let it reduce enough, so there was a lot of sauce leftover. I ended up using it as the base for some jackfruit posole. I figured I made a Mexican grandma smile by using everything up.
Also made turkey gumbo with our leftover smoked turkey breast.
Combining leftover things with stuff like pasta, potatoes, rice, eggs, etc generally has good potential
