Recipes Using Leftover Barbeque

Forget Barbeque Sandwiches, Turn Your Leftover Barbeque into a Delicious, New Meal

Amy Brantley
I love barbeque and usually make it at least once a month. The only problem is the leftovers. I'm not fond of leftovers of any type, but I do like to create different meals with leftovers. This way it's like having a new meal rather than leftovers. But, how do your turn leftover barbeque into a new and delicious meal? Won't it still taste like leftover barbeque? Actually there are several ways to turn leftover barbeque into a delicious and new meal that tastes nothing like leftover barbeque.

Recipes Using Leftover Barbeque #1: Pulled Pork French Fries

This is one of my favorite ways to use leftover barbeque. For this recipe you will need leftover pulled pork, seasoned French fries, shredded cheddar cheese, and extra barbeque sauce. To prepare this leftover barbeque recipe, you will first need to bake or fry the French fries according to the package directions. Once the fries are done, top them with the shredded cheddar. Then take the leftover barbeque and add the extra sauce, this will help to ensure that the pork doesn't dry out. Place the pulled pork on top of the French fries and microwave under the cheese is melted and the pulled pork is hot. Serve immediately.

Recipes Using Leftover Barbeque #2: Spicy Barbeque Chicken Pizza

If you like spicy foods, you'll love this recipe. To prepare this leftover barbeque recipe you will need a pre-made pizza crust, spicy barbeque sauce, 2-3 barbequed chicken breasts that have been cut into bite-sized pieces, shredded pepper jack cheese, and jalapeno slices. Preheat the oven, according to the directions on the pizza crust package and then spread the barbeque sauce onto your pizza. You will only want to use around ¼ of a cup. If the pizza is too wet the cheese will slide off. Then top your pizza with as much pepper jack cheese as you want. Next add the chicken and jalapeno slices. You can add as many jalapenos as you can stand. Then bake according to the pizza crust directions and enjoy.

Recipes Using Leftover Barbeque #3: Baked Potatoes Stuffed with Barbequed Chicken

This is a really yummy recipe if you love baked potatoes. It's also a very easy recipe. To prepare this leftover barbeque recipe you will need one large baking potato, sour cream, butter, green onions, salt, pepper, and one barbequed chicken breast cut into bite-sized pieces. Bake the potato either in your microwave or in your oven and then prepare the potato as your normally would, adding as much butter, sour cream, green onions, and seasoning as you like. Then top with the reheated barbequed chicken and enjoy.

Recipes Using Leftover Barbeque #4: Shredded Beef Burritos

This recipe is actually best when prepared with beef that has a vinegar based sauce. To prepare this leftover barbeque recipe you will need one large flour tortilla, 1 cup shredded beef that has been mixed with extra vinegar based sauce, ½ cup refried beans, and shredded pepper jack cheese. Place the tortilla on a microwave safe plate, wrap with plastic wrap, and heat for 20-30 seconds. Remove the tortilla from the microwave and top with the rest of the ingredients. Roll and heat for another 3 minutes or until everything is heated. Top with more vinegar based sauce and enjoy.
