We almost always had a roast on Sunday night and there was always enough
left over for at least one more meal plus sandwiches. Leftover beef was
most often heated up with gravy for hot roast beef sandwiches or it was
used to make Shepherds pie.... yes.... with beef. We also had hot
turkey or chicken sandwiches. Meatloaf is good leftover, especially
heated in a cast iron pan. Re-heated meat on its own is pretty gross.
