Bubble and Squeak

 

In the years gone by there was a time when families would have a Sunday sit-down dinner with roast beef, or Roasted Chicken, veggies, and potatoes with gravy. Monday's dinner would be leftovers of what was left on the table mixed in a frying pan to reheat which 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 mashed potatoes which are called Bubble and Squeak (British), Colcannon (Irish), or Rumbled thumps (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 a 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 -15 minutes stirring often and turn over to ensure everything is heated but not burnt.

This is also good for breakfast as a frittata with scrambled eggs.

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