I've been trying to use up odd bits and pieces from the fridge and freezer over the last few days.
Sunday night dinner: I diced a leftover baked potato and browned it in olive oil and butter. Then I added some leftover takeout salsa and cooked most of the liquid out. Next I added maybe a third of a bag of baby spinach and cooked it down. I pushed the veggie mix over to the side of the pan and scrambled some eggs in the open space. Then I mixed everything together and topped it all with shredded cheese. We enjoyed it with buttered toast.
Monday night dinner: I thawed out some leftover pot roast and gravy and mixed it with canned green peas and heated it through in a pie pan. I topped the mixture with biscuit dough and baked it until the crust was golden brown. This potpie was really tasty and comforting on a gray, rainy day. We ate half and we'll have the other half tomorrow night.

Pot roast pot pie! What a good idea. I sometimes have trouble selling leftover pot roast, but I think this would do the trick. My kids like anything with biscuit dough baked on top. :-)

I hope you and the family like it! It's a good use for any leftover bits and pieces of meat and veggies. If you are short on gravy, you can use white sauce or cream soup.
