What to do with Leftovers

Yesterday I cooked a beef roast and had roast beef sandwiches for supper last night. Tonight I am going chop the leftover roast, mix it with gravy and serve it over mashed potatoes and biscuits. I can make gravy but it is not as good as what you can buy in a jar so I will use that. I will probably make biscuits from scratch and will include the recipe, but canned biscuits work just fine for this.

Angel Biscuits

2 1/2 c self rising flour
2 T sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 T warm water
1 package dry yeast
1 cup buttermilk ( plain milk works, too)


While oven heats, melt 1/4 cup butter in the pan you are uasing. Mix the dry ingredients, cut butter into cry ingredients until the mixture resembles cornmeal. Disolve yeast in warm water. Combine liquid with dry ingredients to make a stiff dough. roll out to 1/2 inch thick and cut into 2 inch biscuits. Bake at 450 until brown.

These are even better if you mix up the dough a day or two in advance and store in the fridge.
