Roast beef leftovers are a fantastic way to save on groceries each week. A roast provides a quality family meal as the weekend comes to a close. This delicious meaty meal is also great for supplying cheap and delicious sandwich meat for the coming week.
Leftover ideas using roast beef
This cheat sheet delivers meal suggestions for using up roast beef leftovers. If the meal suggestion you choose is a dinner idea, cook up this meal the night you cook your roast. Now you can freeze this meal for a later date and enjoy a no-cook evening when you just cannot be bothered cooking. If possible cook up extra batches of each meal. Put extra portions in the fridge for tomorrow night’s dinner or freeze for a later date (if freezing the meal is practical). Keep this list handy when planning meals for the month and lunches for the week. It is a great idea to cook a roast every Sunday so that you can create cheap and delicious sandwich fillings for the week.
