Make one of Curry_Queen's curries!! Best way I can think of for using up leftover meat

Yep I agree. My mum used to make curry with the leftover sunday meat or she used to put it in a baking dish with gravy.

You can freeze the meat in slices with gravy poured over to keep it moist - you might need to make extra gravy. Next time you fancy a "roast" you just have to defrost and reheat.

You can use up leftover meat in a meatloaf, for instance I used about 1/2 pound cooked chicken with 1 pound of minced turkey, added plenty of sage and onion which worked very well.

Thank You :T

I feel a bit stupid because if I have a recipe for chicken I can change it if need be for using up the ready cooked chicken but somehow I've never got round to doing it for any other cooked meat.
I shall be using all your suggestions - curry why didn't I think of that I just seem to assume that you have to start from scratch!
Thanks again for the suggestions :j

Just to say thanks again!
Tonight I made - shepherds pie!! Well ok not that exciting I know but it's an awkward night when dd's eat first as they have a club and then I rush home for mine & OH's tea and then I rush back to pick them up and then herd them into bed.
So tonight we had the best shepherds pie ever & I got to use up the left over roast from Sunday so it was cheap as well as delicious!

Some days are just plain meant to be good days.

Slice the roast beef. Dip into beaten egg, then breadcrumbs. Shallow fry - quite quickly 'cos the meat's already cooked.

Serve with veggies and gravy.

Empty plates every time!

Good beef or pork is fine for sandwiches. Not sure why lamb wouldn't be either but I haven't tried it.

Fry the sliced pork with some garlic and IMHO it is better than bacon for sandwiches.

Pork can be made into meatballs. Lamb into all sorts of stuff already mentioned. Beef can just be eaten cold from the fridge with salad, potatoes etc. It will keep for days.

You can also make stock from the leftovers you don't want to eat and the bones. Pork stock can be used wherever you would use chicken stock as it doesn't taste at all "porky". Beef and lamb stocks can be used in casseroles.

My favourite use for lamb stock is to roast some more lamb on an oven stand, put some sliced root veg (onions, carrots, parsnips, potatoes etc) in a roasting tin under it and add the stock to the veg. The meat juices drip onto the partially covered veg, which are also cooking in the stock. You get soft veg at the bottom of the tin, and roasted, sticky, juicy veg at the top. Fantastic. And it means you cook everything for sunday lunch in one roasting tin in the oven. No pots and pans to wash up or worry about.
