Recipe: Ideas for Using Leftover Meatloaf

Thomas, here's some suggestions I found on the net. Now I'm hungry for meatloaf!!!

You can use the leftover meat loaf and mashed potatoes to create a variant of Shepherd's Pie by crumbling the meat loaf mixture and topping it with leftover mashed potatoes.

Slice it and place in a baking dish. Cover with some tomato sauce and top with mozzarella cheese. Bake until hot and bubbly. You have Meatloaf Parmesan.

If you have a larger portion left, freeze it and for a quick dinner add some more browned beef and mix with tomato sauce for an easy spaghetti.

One posters family kept a large Tupperware container in her freezer ALWAYS... ANY piece of meat that is leftover....meatloaf, chicken, hamburger, steak, roast, pork chops....etc. they put it in their "mystery meat" container. When the container is full....they make spaghetti sauce. Since they cook this all day either on the stove or in the crock pot, the meat will fall apart and you can't decipher what it is until you bite into it.....but boy is it delicious!

Grate leftover meatloaf on 4 sided box grater. Place in lightly oiled casserole and add enough chicken or beef broth to lightly moisten. Stir in leftover vegetables or add frozen peas. Season with basil and freshly ground pepper. Cover with generous amount of mashed potatoes and bake in 350 degree oven until potatoes start to color. A version of Shepherd's Pie.

You can chop it up and put it in a quiche or an omelet, you can mix it in with chili. You can add it to taco meat, bean dip or underneath the cheese for nachos. BBPD

Grind it up in a food processor to make pre-cooked ground beef, then add it to a Mac-and-cheese dinner with a can of tomato sauce or some marinara, and PRESTO! Meat Loaf Helper!!

How about crumbling it and using it as a topping on pizza?
