What to do with Super Bowl leftovers

I smoked an 8 pound Boston but for six people. One couple brought a massive bag of organic chicken nuggets and a waffle maker and proceeded to make pan-fried chicken and waffles covered in maple syrup. Oh, and there were sides, including a couple of pounds of my homemade cole slaw.

I'm sure that I'm not alone here in having a large quantity of leftovers, so let's all pitch in and stave off that diet one more day...

Egg Rolls - if you're lazy like me, go to the market and get a couple of packages of Egg Roll Wrappers; they're right next to the tofu, otherwise I'm sure they're easy to make from scratch, but after cooking all day Sunday, well... Take your leftover pork or chicken or brisket or whatever and chop it up. Toss it into a big mixing bowl along with an equal amount of leftover cole slaw, maybe some of those sliced bell peppers that no one ever eats, and chop the whole thing just a bit more. Lay the egg roll wrapper on a floured surface, diamond-wise. Put a scoop of your mixture in the middle, but closer to the bottom point (nearest you.) Fold in the left, fold in the right, roll up from the bottom and seal with some egg wash. Bake at 350 degrees for around 30 minutes. Don't forget the duck sauce and hot Chinese mustard!

Linda - I made 3 dozen egg rolls this morning. Froze most of them. 60 seconds in the microwave and the munchies are cured.

We are huge Steeler fans - we made sure that we were done eating by 4pm because our stomachs were so nervous, we couldn't eat after that :) We had: Vegies/dip Cheese/crackers PA Dutch ring bologna/Pepperoni Cold Crab dip Shrimp Cocktail Clams Casino Spread Hot Artichoke/Spinach Dip Homemade pita chips Roethlis-burgers Homemade pierogies Fudge Brownies with PB frosting Everyone stayed overnight after that emotionally draining game and got up early this morning to go home - oldest DD had to drive over an hour to get to work from here and youngest has a 3 1/2 hour drive back to college. We are glad that they are still big fans - it's something that gives us an excuse to do a lot of things together as a family :) Cindy

SuperBowl Party - what should I serve in my steamer?
Q

My first thought when I hear "steamer" is some kind of Chinese dumpling as well! Probably because that's what I use mine for mostly! A good "cheat" for them is to just cook up some ground beef or turkey (I don't eat pork, but the traditional methods use ground pork) flavored with minced garlic & ginger, some sliced scallions and chopped water chestnuts, some soy sauce, sesame oil, maybe a touch of five spice powder - whatever flavors you like - then get a package of those refrigerator biscuits. The regular one's not the huge "grand" ones. Flatten out the biscuit, put a tablespoon or so of your mixture in the middle then bring up all the sides around and pinch it at the top to kind of seal the dough, then steam them. They're more filling than using a traditional dim sum wrapper, but not everyone has access to those. I think the biscuits are a "cheat" that works very well. Have fun at your party! Lisa

Not really a superbowl person either. Although, I may turn it on for a bit since I know Joe Flacco's family (taught is father in high school) and one of DD's patients is starring in one of the commercials. Anyway, dinner is pot pies--chicken for DH, beef for me. And apple muffins that I made mainly to use up the leftover applesauce in the fridge.

I am sure there is onion in the slaw.
But unless you are having another huge party, I'll bet you will make more egg rolls than you can eat....and then you have leftover repurposed leftovers.
I made some very yummy stew out of a leftover beef roast. Browned it with an onion, added a cup of red wine and a can of mushrooms with the liquid a few carrots, garlic and parsley...about a cup of beef broth....and served it over noodles.
I had it for dinner for 2 nights and my grand daughter and I ate it for lunch....and I froze the rest....about another meal for one.

I'd have been eating your food not that unappetizing sugary stuff your guest brought. Anyhow, your main will freeze. Not as sure about your Cole slaw.

Damn, i wouldnt invite the chicken and waffle turds over again.

Egg rolls sound great. Other ideas, anything mexican (tacos, quesadillas, Enchiladas!), add some to scrambled eggs or omelettes, bbq pork sandwiches, Hot pork sandwiches, bahn mi sandwiches, homemade pizza, ....

I'd like the chicken and waffles AND the pulled pork. I wouldn't turn down the cole slaw either. Everything sounds delicious, which is why those leftovers are definitely not a bad thing.

The egg rolls sound like a good use for the leftovers, and pulled pork sandwiches with BBQ sauce and cole slaw are a favorite of mine. Good use for those Kaiser rolls of yours, Ricky...

The pork could also be used in tamales, quesadillas, arepas or chili, fried rice, used to top baked potatoes or nachos, put it in taco salad or pasta sauce, or just freeze it in individual portions for sandwiches later.
