Food & Drink I just cracked the Thanksgiving leftovers code.

[Your Salad]

What if one were to put nearly all the leftovers into a pan with sautéed onions carrots and celery, added gravy, put it in a casserole dish, and topped it off with mash potatoes and baked it till golden brown? It is truly a mirepoix of indulgent excess if you will...
My house guests said it couldn't be done, but after I chucked the leftover stuffing in my Belgian waffle maker on Friday morning and served it with sliced avacado and gravy for breakfast they must have known I wasn't playing around.
Well I'm still entertaining family tonight and it turns out when you have a bunch of culinary experience and smoke weed out on the driveway with your niece and nephew real good stuff can happen.
Behold the Thanksgiving Shepherds Pie.


All the rest of the turkey, all the rest of the gravy, all the rest of the roasted fennel apple pomegranate whatever the fuck that dish was, ALL THE REST OF THE MASH POTATOES.
They laughed as I was making it and thought I was a mad scientist, and yet when it was time to eat leftovers a second day they ate it all.
They will all be gone tomorrow but I know this night will be remembered for 2 day old food, half full bottles of red wine, and watching Elf.


It was really great and I would recommend this method for consolidation of leftovers to anyone. I put hot sauce on mine.

Kinda. Not really.
I wasn't trying to stretch anything. I was trying to smash overindulgence into a casserole.

I also do not enjoy in wasting food. What other human characteristics do you also share to avoid detection?

Or just make it into a sandwich like a normal person.

Well shepherd's pie is made with lamb, and cottage pie is made with ground beef its not really either.

Seems legit. I don't think anyone could argue with that.

No dude. I have nearly 20 years of experience cooking in fine dining, I was a Chef de Cuisine, 8 of those years were in Michelin starred restaurant's. Cooking family meal for the staff taught me how to elevate scraps into wonderful delicious unhealthy regrettable meals.

Based on your remark I assume my pots and pans are worth more than your monthly take home income.

Left overs are left overs...... If you vomit in a casserole dish does it make it a casserole?

Casserole is a type of stew, not bubble and squeak shoved in a casserole dish.......
