This is one of my all time favorite leftover creations! After St. Patrick’s Day, there is normally quite a lot of leftovers… and it’s not very exciting to have the same meal 2 or 3 times in a row! So, out of a traditional Irish & Scottish meal (of meat, veggies, and potatoes), we made something equally delicious and just a little different: Bubble & Squeak. Enjoy!

Equipment

• A skillet, saucepan, metal spatula, leftovers, and an empty stomach!

Ingredients

  

• all leftover mashed potatoes
• all leftover meat whether this is corned beef, turkey, sausage. chicken or ostrich! Have it cooked thoroughly from the previous meal, and chop into cubes.
• all leftover veggies Brussel sprouts, peas, broccoli, or asparagus

Gravy

• 1 & 1/4 cups water
• 1/4 cup poultry gravy powder McCormick Poultry Gravy Mix, For Chicken & Turkey

Instructions

 

Preparation

• Begin by preparing the leftover veggies, meat, and mashed potatoes. Put these on the side for now.

Gravy

• In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the water until boiling. Then, add the Poultry powder and stir with a whisk.
• Let this mixture simmer on low heat for 5-8 minutes.

Bubble & Squeak

• In a skillet, begin by putting the mashed potatoes in on medium heat.
• Meanwhile, cut the meat and veggies proportionally into small cubes.
• Using a metal spatula, flip over the mashed potatoes. Keep in mind, it is alright for there to be a little char throughout.
• Now, fold in the veggies & meat with the mashed potatoes using the same metal spatula.
• Keep flipping and folding the Bubble & Squeak until… well, it bubbles and squeaks! There should be a light layer of crispness throughout the mixture.

Finalization

• Take both the skillet and saucepan off of heat.
• Plate the Bubble & Squeak first, forming it into neat, circular piles.
• Then, lightly (or heavily!) drizzle the gravy over the Bubble & Squeak.
• Now, enjoy!
