When I make a roast for dinner, I always try to make one that's big enough that I will have left over meat to use. I have a couple things that I regularly use it for.
The first is Roast Beef Shepherds Pie. For this I shred the leftover meat and put it in the bottom of a 7x11 pan. I pour a little of the left over gravy over that and then whatever vegetable we had - usually corn or beans. I then seal it tightly with aluminum foil and freeze it.
When I'm ready to use it, I put it in the frig the day before to defrost. I usually buy a prepared container of mashed potatoes (Found in the refrigerator section of the store). Put the mashed potatoes over the thawed meat and veggies and place in a 350 degree oven. Bake for about 45 minutes and you will have a dinner that doesn't taste like leftovers.
The other thing I do is BBQ Beef sandwiches. I shred the leftover roast and freeze it. When you are ready to use it, thaw it and add some BBQ sauce (I like Sweet Baby Rays).
This makes a very quick and tasty supper!
