Bubble and Squeak Dish

In the years gone by there was a time when families would have a Sunday sit-down dinner with roast beef, veggies and potatoes with gravy. Monday's dinner would be leftovers of what was left on the table and mixed together in a frying pan to reheat that was called Bubble and Squeak. A yummy rendition of Sunday Dinner. This is a dish I have come to love making with leftovers taking up space in the fridge on the weekend. Great way to clean out the fridge. I would either make refrigerator soup with the leftovers or throw in cabbage, onions, and potatoes which is called Bubble and Squeak (British), Colcannon (Irish), or Rumbledethumps (Scottish). 

Ingredients: 

6 tablespoons butter or vegetable oil

1/2 cup finely chopped onions

2 cups mashed potatoes

1 cup leftover veggies (cabbage, kale, peas, carrots, or brussels sprouts finely chopped)

1 cup leftover meat (beef, ham, bacon, or burgers)

salt and pepper to taste

In frying pan melt butter over medium heat, don't let it brown. 

turn the heat up slightly and add veggies and meat cook for 10 minutes stirring often and turn over to ensure everything is heated but not burnt

You can preserve this mixture in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze it for up to one month.  Enjoy!
