Leftover Stroganoff

Leftover pot roast, thinly sliced or cut into bite size pieces
Onion, diced
Cream of Mushroom Soup
Butter
Tarragon
Nutmeg
Salt & Pepper
Milk
Sour Cream, Chives, Bacon, frozen peas (optional)

Saute onions in 1-2 Tbsp butter until they just begin to brown. Add pot roast and stir around a bit to warm up the meat. Add the cream of mushroom soup, add in a dash of milk to thin if you want. I like it on the creamy side, so I just used a splash of milk. Add 1/2 tsp Tarragon and 1/8 tsp of Nutmeg, season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir and heat through. If adding peas, add them at the end just before serving, allowing just enough time to warm up.

Serve over buttered egg noodles, potatoes, rice, a thick/crusty bread or anything else that hits your fancy.

Throw a dollop of sour cream on top and chives and bacon if you are so inclined.

This is one of those throw together meals with what you have on hand, so amounts will vary. I had a half of a roast, and used one family size and one regular size cans of cream of mushroom soup. After making it I decided that chives, bacon and peas would really be excellent with this as well. I could have eaten the buttered egg noodles all by themselves. You will want to use a more substantial noodle, etc. because the sauce is heavier and meaty. This ain't delicate, it's filling and yummy and warm on a cold night.

P.S. The 3 year olds loved it!

Homemade Frozen Burritos

This goes along with the Cafe Rio recipes. I usually make the pork, rice (recipe cut in half), beans and Pico De Gallo. Which leaves me alot of leftovers, so I wrap them up in burrito sized tortillas and freeze them. I also make the rice with salsa (just replace one cup of salsa for the water) then the frozen ones already have salsa built in.
Instructions:
Put aprox. 1/2 cup of rice, couple spoonfuls of beans, meat and shredded cheese on one side of the burrito. Wrap snugly.
Place on a cookie sheet and put in freezer for 15-20 minutes to start the freezing process. This helps prevent the saran wrap from sticking to the burrito.
Take them out and wrap them up snugly and well in saran wrap.
Then place in the freezer.
Depending on your microwave you will have to play with the times a bit, but defrost for about 1 minute and then heat for about 2 minutes.
