Leftover brisket can be turned into tasty appetizers by incorporating pasta and vegetables. It can also be used to make barbecue sandwiches or a quick casserole with canned greens, cream of mushroom soup, and rice.
When faced with the task of making something tasty using leftover brisket, the key is to identify other ingredients to incorporate into the recipe to make a tasty appetizer. Including pasta and a range of grilled or cooked vegetables can allow you to stretch even a small amount of leftover brisket into a meal that is satisfying and has a great presentation too. Best of all, many of these dishes can be created using ingredients found in most kitchen pantries.
One approach to using leftover brisket is to cut the remaining brisket into small cubes or sections, then make a sauce using fresh tomatoes, herbs, and spices. Add the brisket cubes to the sauce and allow the combination to simmer. If desired, add cut-up sections of fresh vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, and snow peas, allowing them to cook through until done but still slightly crispy. Pour it all over a bed of pasta and pair with a garden salad and some breadsticks for a flavorful and relatively quick meal.
You can also make quick and easy barbecue sandwiches using leftover brisket. Shred the remaining brisket and then simmer the meat in a store-bought brand of barbecue sauce. Typically, simmering for 15 to 20 minutes is enough to allow the flavor of the sauce and brisket to mingle. Pour the mixture over the burger buns and serve with a side of potato salad for a hearty meal that will appeal to anyone who likes a simple meal that revolves around meat and potatoes.
You can also use leftover brisket in a quick and easy casserole. In fact, the casserole can be made with brisket and a few cans of food found in most pantries. Dice the remaining brisket, then add a can of mixed greens with the water drained. Stir in a can of cream of mushroom soup. If desired, add some chopped onion and some cooked rice to add texture to the casserole. Pour the combination into a saucepan and cook until the top is lightly browned. Remove from the oven long enough to add some fried onions as a topping, then put them back in the oven for a minute or two, browning the onions. This recipe usually takes less than 30 minutes and is ideal for a light lunch or dinner, especially when paired with a garden salad.
