Leftover meatloaf........who has left over :H

Roasted Chicken breast sliced
Smoked Turkey breast sliced
Left over Ham sliced
Shred up left over pork roast for 'pulled pork'.....or burritos
Grilled Fish......Cod works well for sandwich
Good old standby.....frozen hamburger patty

We like egg salad, tuna salad and chicken salad. One of our FAVES is Curried Chicken Salad, which is easy and pretty versatile --'

Start with about 3 cups of shredded chicken breast meat in a large bowl. Add a stalk of celery (chopped), a few green onions (sliced) and a medium sized apple (chopped). Add a handful of raisins, a handful of grapes (halved) and a small handful of toasted pecans pieces. Toss it all gently together in large bowl.

In a small bowl, mix together 3/4 cup mayo, one teaspoon of curry powder, a healthy squirt of honey and some fresh ground pepper. Add to chicken and mix well. Chill before serving.

Use walnuts instead of pecans, Greek yogurt instead of mayo. Anything goes! We love it stuffed into pitas, over greens as salad, on kaiser rolls or plain old wheat bread, you name it. Delicious!

Most any leftover roasted or grilled meat or veggies can be used to make sandwiches. Wuvvv the chicken curry salad recipe above. You can also use chicken to make a stuffed pita sandwich with chicken meat, salsa, either from the jar or produce section, avocado, and salad greens.

Chop up some olives or buy chopped olive salad in the jar, open a can/pouch of tuna that you've doused w/ your favorite olive oil, onion slices, an anchovy filet or two if you like it, tomato slices, a lil basil pesto or fresh leaves all combined atop ciabatta bread roll or Italian bread. Put a weight on the sandwich if you've the time (CI pot; cans) if you've the time and eat. Also works nicely with chicken replacing the tuna.

2 or 3 thick slices of a nice sopressetta or your favorite hard salami, mixed with salad, olives, and cheese on a sturdy bread. Buying salami by the.........sausage is less expensive than the slice varieties and generally better tasting too. the harder the salmi the longer it lasts and tastes.

Grilled veggies with bread.

Thin boneless porkchops on sale at your end? Grill a batch, refrigerate, to use when needed and make a sandwich of it with your fav condiments.

I also agree. But, we use ground turkey for our meatloaf.

Besides pulled pork I made pulled chicken or pulled turkey sandwiches.
I grind some ham and a hot dog or two together, add mayo, celery and perhaps
some chives.
I shape hamburger patties and stick them them in the freezer so my husband can have one when he wants one, which is often.
Once in a while I want a salmon sandwich. Now with only two of us at home, a small can is large enough.
I had a friend who liked cold, mashed potato sandwiches. Not that hot mashed potato sandwiches sounds any better.

I just cooked a 2.5 pound eye of round in my sous vide cooker 24 hours at 132.

I coated it in dried Oregano, Basil and Garlic powder. The meat was infused with flavor.

It came out perfectly medium rare, juicy and so tender.

I have a Kitchen Basic meat slicer that works very well.

Sliced it thin for Sandwiches this week. $4.50 a pound.

As good or better than Boars Head.

BK, I like using eye of round for making my pastrami. A few days in some instacure brine and then into the smoker. Then pastrami burgers and Rueben sandwiches.
