Here's a good way to use leftover pot roast - with its juices and any leftover vegetables. Its a very flexible, use-what-you've-got soup so its hard to go wrong. If you don't have homemade beef stock (butchers aren't giving away bones anymore), soup base is tastier than regular bullion. I like the Tones brand you can get at Sam's Club. Note: I couldn't get the recipe editor to accept leftover vegetables as an ingredient, but if you've got some hanging out in the fridge throw them in.
Ingredients:
1/2 lb leftover pot roast, chopped (or more if you have it)
1 cup dripping (fat removed after chilling)
1 quart beef stock
1 -2 cooked carrot, sliced
1 -2 cooked potato, sliced
1 lb frozen mixed vegetables
1 (154 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 dash garlic powder
1 dash chili powder (optional)
1/2 onion, chopped (optional)
salt and pepper
Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients in a suitable pot. Bring to boil.
2. Turn down heat and simmer 15 minutes.
3. Best served with crusty bread alongside.
